Summary of the contracting process

North Yorkshire Council procured specialist maintenance and technical control services for its swing bridges. The named assets are Selby Town Swing Bridge, Cawood Swing Bridge and A63 Bypass Swing Bridge in Selby, together with Whitby Swing Bridge; the requirement can also cover other bridges or locations where service delivery demands. The work includes scheduled maintenance and servicing, 24-hour emergency call-outs with a three-hour response, task orders, remote support, and advice, recommendations and reports supporting the continuous, safe operation of the bridges. The contractor must provide agreed traffic-management systems and all necessary parts and materials. This is a public-sector services requirement for bridge maintenance, repair and operational support, bought by the council.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Fairfields Control Systems Limited on 18 August 2026, following an open procedure. One lot covered the full requirement. The estimated value was £400,000 excluding VAT (£480,000 including VAT); the awarded and contracted value is £351,903.33 excluding VAT (£422,284 including VAT). Bids closed on 10 July 2026 at 11:00, enquiries closed on 16 June 2026 at 11:00, and the award period ended on 14 August 2026. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 1 September 2030, with the award period stated as 2 September 2026 to 1 September 2030. Evaluation was based entirely on price, subject to satisfactory threshold answers. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs.

This award demonstrates a recurring need for a specialist bridge-maintenance contractor able to support several swing bridges and respond quickly when safety or operation is affected. A credible future competitor would need proven capability in mechanical, electrical or control-system maintenance for swing bridges or comparable moving infrastructure, with the capacity to deliver planned servicing alongside urgent call-outs within three hours. It would also need to manage task orders, provide remote technical support, diagnose faults, produce reliable technical advice and reports, and maintain safe continuity of service. Practical strength in traffic management, sourcing and supplying parts and materials, and operating a structured maintenance programme would be important. The single-bid outcome also indicates a route where clear pricing and satisfactory threshold responses are decisive.
