Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council procured design and repair works for Sherburn House Bridge under an engineering and construction requirement. The scope was an ECI design-and-build scheme, meaning the appointed contractor was responsible for developing the design and carrying out the bridge repair. The main category was construction work (CPV 45000000). Delivery was in the North East of England, within Durham County Council’s area. This is a public-sector civil engineering opportunity focused on a specific bridge asset rather than general building maintenance. Businesses relevant to this requirement include contractors and construction firms with the capability to design, manage and deliver bridge repair works, including organisations able to provide an integrated design-and-build service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Durham County Council used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender submission deadline at 12:00 on 12 February 2026. Story Contracting Ltd was awarded the contract on 9 March 2026 for £119,197.35 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 9 March 2026 to 31 October 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The awarded requirement covers one bridge design-and-repair scheme, with an estimated procurement value of £119,197.35. The award is active and the tender status is complete.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Durham County Council for integrated bridge design and repair delivered through a framework call-off. It is relevant to civil engineering contractors, bridge specialists and design-and-build firms that can combine engineering design with practical repair delivery for a local-authority bridge asset. The buyer considered the requirement suitable for SMEs, so a smaller construction business with appropriate bridge capability may be commercially well placed, either as a framework supplier or through a delivery partnership. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the technical ability, project management capacity and construction resources to take a bridge repair from design development through site delivery, while working within a council procurement route and public-sector contract controls.
