Summary of the contracting process

Via East Midlands Limited procured preparation and repainting of Fulwood Bridge on the A38 at Sutton in Ashfield, Nottingham. The work covered the three-span steel lattice-girder bridge on the north side of the twin-deck structure, including four lattice girders, cross-bracing and the steel trough deck. The girders are supported on blue-brick piers and abutments, with the piers reaching up to 6.2 metres. This is structural bridge-painting work, rather than general building decoration. The awarded work was located in the East Midlands. The buyer is Via East Midlands Limited, a public undertaking.

The procurement was run as a below-threshold open competition and has been awarded to Alfred Bagnall & Sons (East Midlands) Limited. Ten bids were recorded. The award was made on 2 June 2026 at £100,000 excluding VAT (£120,000 including VAT). The contract was signed on 22 June 2026, with a stated period from 22 June to 30 September 2026. The contract is recorded as terminated, with the reason classified as completed; implementation ended on 30 September 2026. The procurement was divided into one lot, assessed on a 50% quality and 50% price basis. The lot was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award shows demand from Via East Midlands for specialist preparation and repainting of highway bridge steelwork, including lattice girders, cross-bracing and a steel deck, with work at height around substantial bridge structures. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement would need credible experience in structural coating preparation and application, and the workforce, access equipment and delivery planning to work safely on bridge components and piers. The competition attracted ten bids, including bids from small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the requirement drew a competitive supplier field and was not confined to large contractors. Quality carried equal weight to price, so evidence of a suitable technical method, workmanship and reliable delivery would matter alongside a competitive cost. The contract was completed, demonstrating an executed requirement for this buyer.
