Summary of the contracting process

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned a full structural assessment of South Anston Bridge to establish its load-carrying capacity and identify work needed to maintain or restore its performance. The engineering consultancy service covers the end-to-end assessment, including traffic management, site surveys and inspections, laboratory testing of materials where required, structural analysis and a final assessment report. The work must follow the DMRB CS 451 standard. The bridge is in South Anston, within the Rotherham area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Amey OW Group Limited on 29 September 2026. The direct award was made under the Midlands Highways Alliance Plus Professional Services Partnership 4, Lot 1. The awarded value is £199,931. The contract period runs from 29 September to 31 December 2026. The submission deadline was 14 August 2026. The published information identifies a single bridge-assessment requirement and names the selected supplier; it does not set out a separate scoring or evaluation basis.

This award demonstrates demand from Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council for specialist bridge engineering that can deliver a complete structural assessment, rather than inspection alone. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to assess structural condition and load capacity, identify necessary interventions, and produce a robust report against DMRB CS 451. The delivery scope also points to the need to coordinate traffic management, site surveys and inspections, and laboratory materials testing where required, alongside structural analysis. Suppliers able to manage these activities as one end-to-end service, and to work through the council’s professional-services partnership route, would be best aligned with the requirement. The award went to a large supplier; the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
