Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the project titled "CWF Lot 2A - Lupton or Badgergate Bridge Repairs" has been conducted by Westmorland and Furness Council. This project involves masonry and scour repairs to a Grade II Listed bridge located near Lupton, Cumbria. The procurement, classified under the construction work category (CPV 45000000), followed a selective process as a call-off from a framework agreement. This initiative was in the tender stage as of 24 October 2025, with the tender period having closed on 15 August 2025. The value of the procurement was set at £200,000, with contractual work scheduled from 15 June to 30 September 2026, covering multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including North West and South West England.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the construction industry, particularly those specialising in repairs of historic structures and bridge construction work. The project's scale and requirements make it especially favourable for SMEs to engage and expand their portfolio within major public infrastructure projects. Metcalfe Plant Hire Limited, a large-scale supplier, was awarded the contract, highlighting that both small and large firms could find growth potential in such projects, especially when leveraging existing framework agreements. The focus on historic structure repair could also encourage companies with niche expertise in heritage conservation to participate in similar tenders.
