Cumbria County Council is seeking to appoint suitably experienced contractors to a 4 year framework commencing in April 2012. The frameworks are for those schemes that fall between 45 000 GBP and 350 000 GBP. The framework is separated into 6 separate lots:

Works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work. The project works are to be undertaken at RAF Mildenhall, Suffolk, United Kingdom. RAF Mildenhall is located between Newmarket and Thetford, approximately 1.5 miles to the North-West of Mildenhall village. Taxiway Alpha runs parallel to the main runway on the northern side. The proposed extension to taxiway Alpha will link the existing taxiway to the eastern end of the overrun. The proposed site is currently maintained as soft landscaping and is bounded by the base perimeter fence to the North and East, the existing overrun to the South and the existing taxiway Alpha to the West.

As part of the Talbot Gateway Masterplan and following a competitive tender process, Blackpool Borough Council has appointed Muse Developments as its development partner in respect of a project comprising amendments to existing and the provision of new highways, public realm and associated infrastructure works (including the provision of utility diversions and the provision of new utility services). The aim is to create a civic and cultural quarter set within a large mixed use, pedestrian friendly development and to re-establish Blackpool as the retail, business, civic and cultural centre for the Fylde Coast Sub Region.

The contract coverage includes those surfacing works, bridgeworks, technology related works, highway maintenance, strengthening and improvement works, and general roadworks that will not be delivered via other contracts.

Cliff-stabilisation works. The project comprises the cliff stabilisation works on a section of unstable slope within an urban environment in Southend on Sea. The long-term proposal is to develop and construct a museum on part of the cliff gardens at Southend on Sea. The proposed museum structure will encompass a deep basement which will provide a permanent stabilisation solution to the site; however due to the history of cliff instability and the timescales of the Museum project, the slope stability remediation works of the current site are to be undertaken prior to the construction of the new museum to restore the site back to public use. The aim of the project is to provide an economic cliff stabilisation solution that is of benefit to the museum structure, but with the main focus of the work to make the slope safe.
