Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North East Lincolnshire Borough Council is procuring professional engineering and inspection services for Railway Street Footbridge (20/79/49). The requirement covers surveys, testing, geotechnical investigations and associated reporting. The purpose is to gather the information needed to support the refurbishment design, including details of the bridge foundations, and to inform any future temporary works design required for lifting operations near Network Rail tracks. The work will be delivered at Railway Street Footbridge in Yorkshire and the Humber. This is a specialist consultancy commission rather than a construction contract: the expected outputs are technical investigation data and reports that can be used by the council and its design and delivery partners in planning the bridge refurbishment and related railway-interface works.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline set by the buyer is 11 September 2026 at 1:00pm. The contract is scheduled to run from 5 October 2026 to 4 October 2027. Its estimated value is £100,000. The procurement is for services and is presented as a single requirement rather than separate lots. Bidders are being sought for the full package of surveys, testing, geotechnical investigation and reporting associated with the footbridge. The resulting technical information must support refurbishment design and inform temporary works planning for lifting operations beside Network Rail tracks.

This opportunity suits a suitably qualified geotechnical or civil engineering consultancy with the capability to plan and carry out site surveys, ground investigations and testing, interpret findings and produce clear engineering reports. Relevant experience should include assessing bridge or other transport infrastructure foundations and providing information that can be taken into refurbishment design. Suppliers should also be able to understand temporary works requirements and the constraints of lifting operations adjacent to an operational railway, including the need to work with Network Rail requirements. The council has identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it potentially accessible to smaller specialist consultancies with the necessary technical expertise, quality controls and delivery capacity.
