Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council has completed a direct procurement process to secure engineering services for principal bridge inspections, facilitated through a Basic Asset Protection Agreement (BAPA) with Network Rail. The contract, titled "PLACE1012H Network Rail BAPA for Principal Bridge Inspections 2025/26," falls under the services category within the engineering sector. This procurement process did not involve competition, as it was below threshold and directly awarded to Network Rail, a non-departmental public body under the Department for Transport. The contract, valued at GBP 51,064.31, commenced on 1st December 2025 and is scheduled to conclude on 30th November 2026, covering the UKF1 region in the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is marked complete, with the contract having been signed on 28th November 2025.

This tender presents opportunities chiefly for businesses with ties to public government projects, particularly those specialising in engineering and inspection services for infrastructure. Although the contract was directly awarded to Network Rail due to their unique capacity as the infrastructure owner, similar tenders may emerge, allowing businesses to seek partnerships or subcontractor roles in large-scale public infrastructure maintenance projects. Businesses involved in transportation infrastructure, engineering services, or related consultancy can leverage this as a model for securing government contracts, especially within the public authority sector where specific expertise and direct procurement methods are applicable.
