Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the title "Post Tensioned Special Inspections (PTSI)" was managed by Cheshire West and Chester Council, a sub-central government public authority located in Ellesmere Port, UK. The process has reached the contract award stage as of 1st May 2025, with the contract signed on 7th April 2025. The main industry category is construction work, specifically focused on inspections of the Nicholas Street Viaduct and Winsford Station Bridge. The contract, valued at £2,000,000, is a direct award under the Pagabo framework, not involving competition, and covers work expected from 28th April 2025 to at least 31st March 2026, with potential extensions until 31st March 2027.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth, especially for construction-related businesses with expertise in civil engineering and infrastructure inspections. Large enterprises like Amey OW Limited and BALFOUR BEATTY CIVIL ENGINEERING LIMITED are already engaged, but there is room for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) such as Essency Consulting Limited, which has also been awarded part of the contract. Companies with innovative inspection methods or specialised engineering solutions will find this project particularly beneficial for expanding their portfolio within the UK public sector infrastructure space.
