Design, manufacture & deliver to site a steel and timber pedestrian bridge

East Sussex County Council seeks a supplier to design, manufacture, and deliver a bespoke steel and timber pedestrian bridge to replace a Public Rights of Way footbridge over the River Ouse. The previous bridge was removed urgently due to health and safety issues, and the council has a statutory duty to maintain the path. The bridge requires metal beams due to its length, deviating from standard timber kits, so only approved metal bridge suppliers are eligible. Installation must occur between 15 June and 1 October 2026, imposing strict time constraints.
