Summary of the contracting process

North Somerset Council procured structural engineering consultancy services for the Birnbeck Pier North Jetty. The requirement concerns engineering advice and related professional services for the pier project, including architectural, construction, engineering and inspection expertise. The named delivery location is associated with the Birnbeck Pier North Jetty in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset. The council is the public-sector buyer. The procurement covered one complete lot and was intended to continue existing engineering services. This opportunity is therefore relevant to consultancies able to provide structural engineering input for a marine or pier infrastructure project, with the technical capability to support the council’s ongoing requirements through design, assessment, construction or inspection activities.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award, justified as a continuation of engineering services. The award date was 6 July 2026. MARBAS GROUP LIMITED was selected for the engineering consultancy services. The awarded value is £297,500 excluding VAT, or £357,000 including VAT. The award is above the relevant threshold. The contract period runs from 15 October 2026 to 31 March 2028, with a scheduled signature date of 1 October 2026. Evaluation was not conducted through an open competition; the published rationale classification refers to exclusive intellectual property rights associated with a single supplier. The award covers the single lot.

This award indicates demand from North Somerset Council for specialist structural engineering consultancy supporting the Birnbeck Pier North Jetty. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability in structural engineering and in the assessment, design, construction support or inspection of complex infrastructure, particularly pier or marine environments. Experience of continuing an established engineering service would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to work with a council and maintain technical continuity across a long-running project. Suppliers should be able to provide suitably experienced engineering personnel, produce robust technical advice and coordinate effectively with other project stakeholders. The requirement is suited to an established specialist consultancy, including an SME with relevant infrastructure experience.
