Summary of the contracting process

This works opportunity is for scaffolding supply, design, installation, alteration, dismantling, inspection, maintenance and certification on major infrastructure programmes. The scope includes independent, birdcage, cantilever and mobile-tower scaffolds; access systems, edge protection, handrails and ladders; temporary works designs and calculations; temporary roofs, encapsulation, hoardings, debris netting and containment. It also covers complex access in rail, highways, infrastructure corridors, confined and live operational sites, including integration with rope access where required, plus planned and emergency reactive call-outs. The framework supports Network Rail CP7, the TransPennine Route Upgrade, Peel Ports and other projects across England. BIP Solutions is listed as the buyer, with J. Murphy & Sons inviting experienced civil engineering subcontractors.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Suppliers had to submit their expression of interest by 21 July 2026 at 16:45. Further tender information, including the regional lot structure and next steps, is provided through CompeteFor. The contract period is 14 August 2026 to 11 August 2028. Its stated estimated value is £1,000,000, with a minimum estimated value of £500,000, both in GBP. The procurement is for works and is arranged as regional lots across England. The published information identifies the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The process uses an expression-of-interest stage before suppliers receive further tender information.

This opportunity suits established scaffolding contractors and civil engineering subcontractors able to design and deliver temporary access solutions for infrastructure work. Relevant capability includes producing project-specific scaffold designs, temporary works calculations and safe systems of work, then erecting, adapting and dismantling varied scaffold structures safely. Suppliers should be able to inspect, tag, certify and maintain scaffolds in line with working-at-height requirements, and support urgent call-outs as well as planned programmes. Experience of rail, highways, ports, infrastructure corridors, confined spaces, live operational sites or other complex and high-risk environments would be particularly relevant. The framework also suits firms able to provide temporary roofs, encapsulation, hoardings, containment and debris netting, and to coordinate with other access methods such as rope access.
