Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured major maintenance works for Harrington Bridge, covering replacement of severely corroded cross-bracing sections at the pier, painting of the caissons and their connections to the bracing, and minor remedial work to the apron in front of the abutments. The works also include replacing the bridge deck expansion joints, partial carriageway resurfacing and resurfacing of the footways. A temporary suspended platform is required to create a dry, safe working environment at the pier, with temporary scaffolding or a platform over the bridge providing access to the works. This is civil engineering and bridge maintenance work at Harrington Bridge for the council.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to COATING SERVICES LIMITED. It used a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submissions allowed. One lot was awarded. The tender estimate was £420,000 gross, while the signed contract value is £914,042 gross. The award was active and the contract was signed on 16 July 2026. The contract period runs from 17 July 2026 to 15 November 2026; the tender lot had previously indicated a period from 30 March 2026 to 30 September 2026. Evaluation was based on price, weighted at 70%, and quality or technical merit, weighted at 30%. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs.

This procurement indicates demand from Derbyshire County Council for specialist bridge maintenance combining structural steelwork, protective coating, access systems and highway-surface repairs. Suppliers seeking comparable future work would need to coordinate corrosion-related repairs to bridge components with painting and coating of caissons and connections, remedial work around abutments, expansion-joint replacement, carriageway and footway resurfacing, and safe temporary access over or beneath a bridge. The requirement suits an SME or larger civil engineering contractor able to manage several interdependent work packages on an operational bridge, including a suspended platform and temporary scaffolding. Credible competitors would need practical experience delivering bridge or major infrastructure maintenance, strong site-safety planning and the technical capacity to complete structural, access and surfacing activities as one coordinated project.
