The operators of the Humber Bridge have announced a special event to help companies planning to tender to deliver a new toll collection scheme at the crossing.

The Humber Bridge Board’s Meet the Buyer event will help companies learn more about its requirements for a new tolling system, understand the procurement process and contractural arrangements and offer the chance to give feedback on the plans.

Since November 2015, the Humber Bridge Board (HBB) has been operating a hybrid toll collection system comprising one open road toll lane and three staffed toll booth lanes in each direction along with associated back-office systems located in the Bridge Office.

HBB now is looking to replace this hybrid toll collection system with a fully free flow toll collection system. With the support of its consultant IBI Group, HBB will be procuring a Contractor to design, install and maintain the new toll collection system.

The event takes place in Hull on the afternoon of 15 September. Details are here.
