Summary of the contracting process

South Gloucestershire Council procured structural assessments of West Street Railway Bridge and North Street Railway Bridge in England. The work is technical bridge assessment and engineering consultancy, intended to establish the structural condition of both railway bridges. The named structures are the full scope described, and the buyer is the council. This is a specialist professional-services requirement rather than construction or bridge repair work; the procurement concerns assessment services only. Delivery is in England, at the two named bridges.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to WSP UK Ltd. The council awarded the contract on 11 March 2026 for £25,200. The contract period ran from 23 March to 3 August 2026. The tender deadline was 9 March 2026. The process is recorded as using an “Other” procedure, with no further method or evaluation criteria stated. It was a single requirement covering assessments of both bridges, rather than separate lot awards. The procurement was categorised as services, and small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate.

This award demonstrates demand from South Gloucestershire Council for professional structural assessment of railway bridges. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need the engineering expertise, technical testing and analysis capability to assess bridge structures and produce sound structural assessments for the council’s named assets. The work is consultancy and assessment, so relevant experience should be in bridge condition or structural assessment rather than construction delivery alone. The selected supplier, WSP UK Ltd, is a large business, while the procurement was also considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller specialist engineering consultancies may be relevant if they can demonstrate the necessary technical capability and delivery capacity for assessments across multiple bridges.
