Summary of the contracting process

The Humber Bridge Board procured design and construction works to replace the existing rocker bearings and A-frames at the Barton and Hessle anchorages of the Humber Bridge. The scheme develops the conceptual design into a detailed solution using vertically orientated pendels and a wind shoe, maintaining current load and translation requirements. It covers bridge renewal, structural construction and engineering design services, with possible related tower works. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, at the Humber Bridge’s Barton and Hessle locations. The buying organisation is the Humber Bridge Board, a public authority responsible for the bridge. The requirement is primarily civil engineering and construction, with associated design services, and was structured as one requirement rather than separate lots.

This is a completed open procedure for one lot. The tender closed on 20 July 2026 at 11:00, following an enquiry deadline of 29 June 2026 at 17:00, and the award decision was dated 28 August 2026. The estimated value was £8,000,000 excluding VAT (£9,600,000 including VAT). Spencer Group was selected for £5,999,851 excluding VAT (£7,199,821.20 including VAT). The standstill period ended on 9 September 2026. The awarded contract is scheduled to run from 16 October 2026 to 16 August 2028, with possible extension to 16 October 2031. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 65%, social value at 5% and price at 30%. Two bids were received, with one reaching the final stage. The contract includes options for additional tower A-frame and monument works.

This procurement indicates recurring specialist demand from the Humber Bridge Board for complex bridge renewal involving structural steel, bearing or A-frame replacement, detailed civil engineering design and construction delivery in a live bridge environment. A credible future competitor would need the capacity to manage major infrastructure works, develop conceptual designs into buildable solutions and coordinate specialist subcontractors where required. The stated benchmark includes ISO 9001 quality, ISO 14001 environmental and ISO 45001 health and safety certification, or equivalent. Relevant experience must cover structural steelwork to NHSS20 and the RQSC for bridgeworks, steel products meeting NHSS3B, industrial corrosion protection to NHSS19A, and factory production control certification for regulated products. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, although the selected supplier was a large contractor.
