Summary of the contracting process

NY Highways Limited commissioned maintenance and inspection of the 250-metre rock face on the A170 at Sutton Bank. The works include clearing vegetation, scaling loose or unstable rock as needed, and inspecting remedial works installed in 2025 to check that the system functions and identify any advanced corrosion of components. This is specialist rock-face and highway infrastructure maintenance, classified as civil engineering works. The work is at Sutton Bank in North Yorkshire.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to MITS Rope Access Limited, a Middlesbrough supplier. NY Highways used an open competition, with the award based entirely on price. The requirement was a single lot, and participation was reserved for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The tender was published on 23 July 2026; the enquiry deadline was 31 July 2026 and tenders were due by 13 August 2026. The contract was signed on 13 September 2026 and runs from 13 to 20 September 2026. The contract value is £83,974.88 excluding VAT (£100,769.86 including VAT).

For future work of this kind, credible suppliers will need to deliver safe, practical access to steep rock faces, clear vegetation and scale rock where required, and inspect installed remedial systems for function and corrosion. Rope-access capability is directly relevant to reaching and working on the face, alongside competence in highway asset maintenance and inspection. The requirement was sized for an SME and was competed on price alone, so suppliers need both the technical ability to complete the short, focused maintenance task and a competitive cost base. The work concerns a defined 250-metre rock face on a major road, rather than broad highway maintenance; businesses focused on specialist rock-face access and condition inspection are the closest fit.
