    Brief

    Durham County Council is seeking a contractor to design and deliver a complete replacement of the Middle Blackdene footbridge. The project involves removing the existing sub-standard bridge and installing a new structure featuring steel beams with a fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite deck and parapets. The existing concrete abutments will be retained, modified, and repaired as necessary to support the new structure. This is a competitive opportunity under the NEPO211 Civil Engineering & Infrastructure Works Framework (Lot 2). Early contractor involvement is required to support the design development phase. Suitable contractors should have experience in footbridge design, structural steelwork, and composite material installation.
