## Summary

The procurement process led by Dumfries and Galloway Council is for the construction of a new cycle and footbridge crossing the River Cree in Newton Stewart, titled "To Fabricate, Supply and Install Sparling New Cycle/Footbridge in Newton Stewart." This project falls under the 'works' category and has been completed, with a contract value of approximately £742,665.63. The procurement method applied was a selective procedure, and the project involved off-site fabrication, delivery, and installation alongside the necessary civil engineering works. The construction commenced in April 2019 and was completed by the end of August 2019.

This tender represents lucrative opportunities for construction businesses, particularly those with experience in bridge construction and civil engineering projects. Firms that specialise in steel fabrication, installation, and environmental impact mitigation will be well positioned to compete, given the technical requirements and the importance of meeting environmental regulations outlined for the project's location. The competitive bidding process initially attracted five participants, indicating a robust interest that may continue for similar future projects in the region.
