Summary of the contracting process

Humber Bridge Board procured engineering and construction works to inspect and maintain refurbished DEMAG roller shutter joints on the Humber Bridge. The requirement covers removing the joints, replacing damaged parts supplied by the client, and reinstalling them during a weekend shift. The work is associated with the bridge’s maintenance and operational infrastructure, rather than general building construction. The buying organisation is Humber Bridge Board, based at Ferriby Road, Hessle. Delivery is on the Humber Bridge in the United Kingdom. The appointed contractor is responsible for providing suitable specialist engineering capability to carry out the inspection, maintenance, removal and reinstallation activities safely and effectively in the bridge environment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to 3RS Engineering Limited. It was a below-threshold direct award without competition, with one completed lot. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and has a gross value of £159,936, equivalent to £133,280 excluding VAT. The award covers engineering works and construction works. The contract period runs from 5 September 2026 to 3 September 2029, with the client able to extend the service for periods totalling up to three years, potentially until 3 September 2032. The contract is active. The extension is at the client’s discretion, subject to notifying the contractor at least one month before the contract ends.

This award identifies a focused market opportunity for engineering contractors experienced in bridge, mechanical or industrial maintenance, particularly work involving roller shutters, joints and comparable moving or load-bearing components. A credible future supplier would need to inspect refurbished equipment, diagnose damage, remove components, install replacement parts supplied by the client, and complete reinstallation accurately. The requirement also favours firms able to plan and resource intensive work within a weekend shift, with suitable safety controls for a live bridge environment. Relevant engineering competence, maintenance experience, reliable site supervision and the capacity to work around operational constraints would strengthen a competitor’s position when this buyer next assesses the same requirement.
