Summary of the contracting process

The Principal Bridge Inspections 2025/26 project, conducted by Cumberland Council, focuses on architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services within the United Kingdom, specifically in the region of England. This process involved arranging access and performing comprehensive inspections of the Cumberland bridges, concluding with detailed reports and a summary schedule of recommended actions. The procurement stage has moved to the Award phase, with the contract successfully awarded as of 10th July 2025. The contract is scheduled to commence on 9th August 2025 and conclude on 6th September 2025, with a value of £34,961, matching closely the final tender value of £35,000, facilitated through an unspecified procurement method detailed as "Other -".

This tender creates opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in engineering inspection services, to engage with local government projects and expand their portfolios. It presents significant opportunities particularly for SMEs, as indicated by the suitability criteria, which do not favour VCSEs in this particular process. The project has been awarded to Jacobs U.K. Limited, a large-scale enterprise, indicative of the scale and expertise required for this contract. Businesses with capabilities in bridge inspections, report preparations, and compliance with UK engineering standards would find this sector particularly pertinent for growth and experience enhancement.
