Summary of the contracting process

Humber Bridge Board procured a design-and-build package of bridge safety and engineering works on the Humber Bridge. The main work was to design and install approximately 5 km of footpath parapet height extensions across the suspension bridge, the Barton South Approach Viaduct and adjoining anchorage sections. The package also covered design and replacement of eight life-expired footpath expansion joints at Hessle and Barton Towers. The contractor was responsible for permanent and temporary works design and for acting as Principal Designer and Principal Contractor under CDM 2015. The work is delivered on the Humber Bridge and its associated approach and anchorage structures. The procurement covers construction works with supporting civil and bridge engineering design services.

This was a completed above-threshold open procedure with one lot, evaluated on technical quality at 60%, price at 35% and social value at 5%. The tender deadline and enquiry deadline were both 3 June 2026 at 11:00, with award planned by 17 June 2026. Two bids were received and one reached the final stage. The contract was awarded to Beaver Bridges Limited on 30 June 2026. The award value was £4,154,902.57 excluding VAT, or £4,985,883.08 including VAT. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and runs from 27 July 2026 to 18 October 2027. Eligibility required £10 million turnover, relevant quality, environmental and health-and-safety certifications, and specified bridge steelwork, fastener, structural steel, corrosion-protection and product-marking capabilities.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Humber Bridge Board for specialist bridge renewal and safety contractors able to combine design, steelwork fabrication or installation, corrosion protection and work on live bridge infrastructure. A credible future competitor would need the capacity to manage both permanent and temporary works, take Principal Designer and Principal Contractor responsibilities under CDM 2015, and coordinate technically demanding work across a suspension bridge, viaducts, towers and anchorages. The requirement favoured firms with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certification, or equivalent systems, alongside recognised bridgework and steelwork execution credentials. Experience with parapet extensions, expansion joints, mechanical fasteners, structural steel products, industrial coatings and compliant factory production control would strengthen a supplier’s position.
