Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council has completed a procurement process for the "Underwater Inspection and Maintenance Contract 2025 - 2032," set to address both programmed and unscheduled underwater inspections and maintenance of structures in areas maintained by North Yorkshire and the City of York. The contract, with a slated start date of 1st December 2025, will conclude on 31st March 2032. The open procedure method was used, under the legal basis of the UKPGA 2023/54. The award was issued to Bridgeway Consulting Limited. The main procurement category is services, specifically diving services, with the total contract valued at £300,000. The tender, originally initiated in the planning stage, progressed through to contract award as of 1st December 2025, reflecting a thorough procurement cycle covering various stages from planning, tender posting, tender updates, to the final award in December 2025.

This procurement opens doors for businesses specialising in underwater inspections and maintenance, particularly those with expertise in diving services. Companies experienced in infrastructure projects, especially those that demonstrate capabilities in conducting emergencies and routine inspections and maintenance activities in riverine or water-based environments, can significantly benefit. With government contracts ensuring a stable revenue stream over the contracted period, businesses possessing the requisite technical expertise and financial stability stand to gain from engaging in such opportunities. Moreover, due to the contract's extended duration until 2032, it is suitable for both large-scale consultancies and SMEs with relevant skills and financial backing.
