Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council commissioned scour protection works for pier 3 of Rock Park Bridge in Barnstaple. The work involves construction activity in a tidal marine environment, focused on protecting the bridge pier from scour. Delivery is in Barnstaple, Devon. The requirement sits within the construction works category and concerns a specific bridge structure rather than general road, building or maintenance services. It is relevant to civil engineering contractors with experience of bridge protection, marine environments and works around tidal water. The buyer is Devon County Council, the sub-central public authority responsible for the procurement and the bridge asset. The requirement was arranged as a single completed lot, covering the scour protection works at the identified bridge pier.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Devon County Council used a selective, competitive below-threshold award under a framework. Bridge Civil Engineering Ltd was awarded the contract. The award is active and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 28 July 2026, with a contract period from 29 July 2026 to 7 October 2026. Its value is £155,931.74 excluding VAT and £187,118.09 including VAT. The award covers the single lot for scour protection at Rock Park Bridge pier 3. Evaluation took place through the competitive framework award route; the published data does not set out separate quality, price or other scoring criteria. The award is below the applicable threshold.

This award demonstrates Devon County Council’s demand for targeted bridge civil engineering in a tidal marine setting, at a scale suitable for an experienced specialist contractor or capable small and medium-sized enterprise. Businesses seeking comparable future work would need practical expertise in scour protection, bridge piers, marine construction and safe working around tidal water. Credibility would also depend on being able to manage a defined civil engineering intervention on an operational public bridge, coordinate site activity and deliver construction works to the council’s requirements. The procurement shows that this buyer uses a competitive framework route for below-threshold requirements, so suppliers with access to the relevant framework and the capacity to respond through it would be well placed.
