Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for bridge maintenance services was conducted by Darlington Borough Council, focusing on maintaining highway bridges and retaining walls within the Borough. Classified under repair and maintenance services (CPV code 50000000), this project falls within the services category. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, with the tender stage initially active until 31st March 2025, leading to the contract signing on 23rd June 2025. Maintenance services were scheduled for delivery in the UKC13 region. The contract was awarded to St Astier Limited as of June 25th, 2025, with the bid process culminating in two electronic submissions from SMEs.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses proficient in infrastructure maintenance, particularly those experienced in working with public entities on large-scale projects. The extensive nature of the works required—encompassing 106 highway bridges and 112 retaining walls—indicates a robust demand for services that ensure structural integrity and safety. Companies capable of delivering high-quality maintenance solutions at competitive prices are well-suited to capitalise on such opportunities, fostering growth through strategic partnerships with local government authorities like Darlington Borough Council.
