In plain English
Tewkesbury Borough Council needs a contractor to assess, design, and repair or replace Pennylands Footbridge in Winchcombe. The work includes surveys, structural investigations, design, construction, and all related safety and drainage work.
What the buyer wants
• Carry out site surveys, structural assessments, and geotechnical/hydrological/ecological investigations • Design the repair or replacement of the bridge, including bank stabilisation and foundations • Execute the construction works: repairs or full replacement, drainage installation, surfacing, and safety features • Manage traffic during construction and provide all project documentation • Work under NEC3 Engineering and Construction Contract terms
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
Most small builders will be disqualified: this requires multi-disciplinary design and engineering capability, structural/geotechnical/ecological expertise, significant insurance cover, and experience delivering major bridge works under NEC3 terms. The £200,000 budget is modest for a full design-and-build bridge contract, so cost pressure will be intense.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
