Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Gloucestershire Council commissioned level 3 structural assessments of two subways: Finch Subway and Oaktree Avenue Subway. The work is bridge inspection and structural assessment, intended to evaluate the condition of these structures. Delivery is in England. The requirement is a focused package covering the two named subways, rather than a general programme of bridge inspections. It falls within engineering inspection and assessment services (CPV 71631450).

The procurement is complete and awarded. WSP UK Ltd was selected, with an award date of 11 March 2026. The awarded contract value is £31,600. The contract period ran from 23 March to 3 August 2026. The original tender deadline was 9 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The procurement method is recorded as “Other”; no further procedure detail is provided. The contract covers both subway assessments, with no separate lot awards reported. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to undertake the work. The evaluation criteria are not stated in the available procurement information.

This award shows that South Gloucestershire Council buys targeted level 3 structural assessments for bridge structures, including subways. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate the technical capability to inspect bridge structures and carry out level 3 assessments, with suitable engineering expertise to assess the condition of multiple assets within one commission. The selected supplier, WSP UK Ltd, is a large firm, but the buyer marked the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that scale alone was not a stated barrier. The work is a defined, two-structure assignment rather than a broad maintenance contract; relevant experience in bridge inspections and structural assessment would therefore be central to demonstrating fit.
