Summary of the contracting process

Cornwall Council, based in Truro, in collaboration with Plymouth City Council, is in the planning stage for the tender titled "Tamar Crossings - Painting, Paint Inspection & Maintenance Support Services". This procurement focuses on delivering a range of routine and ad-hoc maintenance tasks at the Tamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry within the industry category of Bridge Operating Services (CPV 63712310). The total value of the contract is estimated at £8,500,000. Interested contractors are invited to attend a supplier information event scheduled for 18th September 2024 to discuss the contract details before the formal advertisement in October 2024. The potential contract will have an initial term of 4 years with the option for a 4-year and a 2-year extension, covering locations in regions UKK3 and UKK41.

This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for contractors with expertise in infrastructure maintenance, painting, and inspection services. Businesses specialising in services such as paint inspection, rope access, structural repairs, and general maintenance will find this opportunity well-suited for their capabilities. Given the comprehensive nature of tasks, ranging from specialised painting to general labour support, both well-established companies and smaller firms with specific skill sets can compete effectively. Furthermore, the anticipated transfer of the current workforce under TUPE regulations ensures continuity, offering a stable operational environment for the appointed contractor. Attendance at the supplier information event, although not mandatory, is highly recommended for organisations seeking to gain a thorough understanding of the contract requirements and establish their suitability to bid.
