Wakefield Council is looked for contractors to build a new 5.5nm road, worth £33m.

The Wakefield Western Relief Road project will link the A642 Aberford Road in the north to the A638 Doncaster Road in the south. The project will enhance an urban expansion plan to construct 2,500 new homes.

The road will need to cross the Wakefield Kirkgate to Normanton railway line and the River Calder. The railway is on a large embankment, and it is proposed that the road will cross underneath the line.

Wakefield council hopes to start construction in April 2015, with 54hours over Christmas 2015 scheduled for the installation of the railway bridge.

All documents are available for download from the YORtender portal, contract reference 9LGC-YGFKEY.

Sellafield is seeking specialist firms to help with the decommissioning of a historic nuclear site in a ten year project, worth up to £1.5bn.

The Decommissioning Delivery Partnership will work as a commercial framework agreement, that be called upon when support is required.

Project Manager Angela Mackintosh said,

“Awarding a longer-term 10-year arrangement provides better security of demand for the supply chain, which in turn drives innovation and provides socio-economic benefits through investment in people, technology and infrastructure. We want to see positive wider economic benefits to the local community from the enormous amount of public money spent at Sellafield and to get maximum benefit for every pound spent.”

Chief Decommissioning Officer Jack DeVine said,

“To help us complete our clean-up mission, we will put in place a commercial mechanism so that we can very quickly and efficiently pull together specialist resources for decommissioning work to supplement our existing workforce. Some 11,000 people work at Sellafield and I have no doubt that there is nowhere else in the world with the same concentration of nuclear experience and skills. However, we need external assistance to carry out specialist work that we can’t cover with our own in-house workforce.”

The tendering process will take place at the end of 2014, with preferred suppliers announcing in mid-2015.
