Summary of the contracting process

Via East Midlands Limited procured concrete repair works to Beacon Hill Road Railway Bridge (bridge 3439B). The scope covers repairs to the wingwalls, abutments, piers and beam soffits. This is specialist railway bridge maintenance and civil engineering work, rather than general construction. The buying organisation is Via East Midlands Limited, a public undertaking. The tender identifies the delivery area as England, with the award record spanning regions across England. The requirement was organised as a single lot and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises. The contract was awarded to Churchman, Fenner and Brown Limited, an SME based in Stoke-on-Trent.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to Churchman, Fenner and Brown Limited. The award was made on 5 October 2026 for £83,000 excluding VAT (£99,600 including VAT). The contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 21 March 2027. The original estimated value was £150,000 excluding VAT (£180,000 including VAT). Via East Midlands used an open competition below the relevant threshold, with electronic submission permitted. There was one lot. Bids were evaluated on a 60% quality and 40% price basis. The tender submission deadline was 17 August 2026, and the deadline for enquiries was 11 August 2026.

For suppliers who did not win, this award demonstrates demand from Via East Midlands for targeted repairs to railway bridge concrete, including structural elements such as wingwalls, abutments, piers and beam soffits. A credible competitor would need practical experience delivering bridge repair works safely and to the required quality, with the technical capability and workforce to complete a defined package of specialist civil engineering work. The quality-led evaluation, with price also carrying substantial weight, indicates that a future competitor would need to evidence its approach and delivery standards as well as offer competitive costs. The award went to an SME, and the original opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs, showing that this scale of requirement can be competed for by specialist smaller firms as well as larger contractors. The route used was an open competition.
