## Summary

The East Ayrshire Council is conducting a procurement process for the "A70 Glenbuck Realignment" project, which involves significant roadway works including the realignment and resurfacing of various sections of the A70 carriageway, as well as the demolition of the existing Glenbuck Bridge and its replacement with new structures. This public works contract falls under the category of works and is currently active, with a projected duration of 360 days. The open tender period for submissions began on 4th October 2017 and will end on 14th November 2017, following which the award period will commence on the same day. The total contract value is approximately £2,059,130, with delivery tied to the Kilmarnock area.

This tender presents excellent opportunities for businesses specialised in civil engineering, construction, and related services. Companies capable of performing comprehensive roadway construction and bridge work, particularly those with experience in collaborative projects involving local government entities, are well-suited to compete for this contract. The involvement of statutory utilities indicates that knowledgeable sub-contractors in drainage and infrastructure may also find this project advantageous. Moreover, firms meeting the minimum economic criteria for tender evaluation can leverage this opportunity to enhance their portfolio while contributing to the infrastructure development in East Ayrshire.
