Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Machine Bridge – Concrete Condition Testing" project has recently concluded with Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council (CBC) as the buying organisation. Located in Pontypridd, Wales, the project falls under the highway maintenance work category, specifically in the region of UKL15. The procurement process was conducted under a limited competition framework, adhering to Welsh devolved regulations, and aimed at testing the concrete condition of the Machine Bridge, both North and South. The procurement reached the award stage on 18 September 2025, resulting in a contract spanning from June 2025 until the end of March 2026.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in highway maintenance and concrete testing services. It highlights the potential for partnership with sub-central government entities like Rhondda Cynon Taf CBC. With a contract value nearing £30,000, this project would particularly appeal to large-scale firms within the United Kingdom that possess the required expertise and capability to conduct comprehensive testing services. Construction Testing Solutions Ltd, a large enterprise based in Leicester, successfully secured the contract, demonstrating the type of businesses that are well-suited for such opportunities. Companies with a focus on infrastructural works and maintenance could find similar tenders beneficial for business expansion and market penetration.
