Summary of the contracting process

Humber Bridge Board procured works and related engineering services to upgrade the Humber Bridge’s existing electrical infrastructure. The scope covers the design and installation of new electrical infrastructure, design modifications to existing systems, and removal of redundant electrical infrastructure. The technical requirement includes electrical installation, wiring and fittings, transformers, electrical distribution equipment and associated engineering services. The work is for the Humber Bridge Authority and is delivered at the Humber Bridge in the Humber area of England. This is a specialist infrastructure upgrade rather than routine electrical maintenance, and is relevant to contractors able to design and implement electrical systems within an operational bridge environment.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded through a below-threshold open competition. There was one lot, suitable for SMEs, with no conditions of participation stipulated. The stated evaluation basis was the most advantageous tender. The tender deadline was 1 June 2026, following an enquiry deadline of 11 May 2026. The estimated lot value was £500,000 excluding VAT, or £600,000 including VAT. Spencer Bridge Engineering Ltd was awarded the lot. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026, runs from 27 July 2026 to 26 August 2026, and is valued at £638,030 excluding VAT, or £765,636 including VAT.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Humber Bridge Board for a compact, specialist electrical infrastructure project combining design responsibility with installation and removal works. Suppliers best placed for comparable requirements would have electrical engineering and installation capability covering new infrastructure, modifications to live or established systems, transformers and distribution apparatus. They would also need to coordinate design and physical works, safely remove redundant equipment, and provide engineering services suited to a major bridge asset. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and imposed no stated participation conditions, indicating that a capable specialist contractor could compete without a prescribed accreditation or qualification barrier. Experience delivering complex infrastructure upgrades would strengthen credibility when similar work returns.
