Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering Limited is seeking a Works Examiner for construction and engineering works within an allocated area. The role involves planned examinations, inspections and site checks against the work programme, applicable standards, drawings, specifications, method statements, inspection and test plans, and client requirements. The examiner will assess completed and ongoing works, identify defects, safety concerns, non-conformances and incomplete activities, and provide clear information to supervisors, engineers and project teams. Responsibilities include producing inspection records, reports, photographs and supporting evidence, escalating urgent issues affecting safety, quality, programme or asset integrity, and coordinating access and action close-out with site teams, planners, subcontractors and other project personnel. The work is based in the area associated with postal district CA10 1SS.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers using a selective competitive procedure with negotiation for an above-threshold requirement. The tender deadline is 7 August 2026 at 12:00 noon. The contract is scheduled to run from 17 August 2026 to 27 October 2029. Its estimated value is between £450,000 and £500,000, in total. The requirement is classified as works and concerns consultative engineering and construction services. The published opportunity identifies the procurement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Suppliers should be prepared to work within the buyer’s programme and agreed work bank, complete inspections and provide accurate evidence within required timescales. The procedure involves negotiation rather than a straightforward open tender.

This opportunity suits engineering, construction assurance and infrastructure inspection businesses able to examine works systematically and judge compliance against technical and project requirements. Strong candidates will have practical experience of site inspections, quality control, defect identification, non-conformance reporting and supporting the close-out of corrective actions. They will need to interpret drawings, specifications, method statements and inspection and test plans, and produce reliable written records, photographs and other evidence. The role requires people who can communicate findings clearly to supervisors, engineers, planners, subcontractors and project teams, while escalating urgent safety, quality or asset-integrity concerns. Suppliers must also be able to operate safely on site, follow permits, risk assessments, site rules and environmental requirements, and provide sufficient examiner capacity to cover planned examinations and programme demands across the allocated area.
