Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority commissioned repairs to Linton Clapper Bridge, a Grade II listed bridge. The works cover the bridge piers, the invert flags beneath the bridge span and selective repointing of the bridge fabric. This is specialist bridge repair and conservation work, rather than general construction. Delivery is in the Yorkshire Dales, England. The bridge’s listed status makes conservation of historic fabric a central feature of the requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 21 September 2026 to J Staley (Stonework) Limited. The award is valued at £34,310 excluding VAT (£41,172 including VAT). The awarded contract period runs from 20 October 2026 to 29 January 2027, with an extension permitted up to 31 March 2027. This was a below-threshold open competition reserved for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Four bids were received, all from SMEs. Price carried 40% of the evaluation and quality 60%. The stated selection requirement was experience in conservation-led projects, reflecting the bridge’s Grade II listed status.

For firms considering comparable future work for the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority, this award indicates demand for carefully managed repairs to listed bridges, including masonry pier work, work to stone invert flags and selective repointing. Credible suppliers will need demonstrable experience delivering conservation-led projects on listed structures, with the specialist stonework capability to repair historic fabric without compromising its character. The Authority’s evaluation gave quality greater weight than price, so a competitive offer would need to show a strong technical approach as well as cost control. The competition attracted four SME bids and was reserved for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; smaller specialist contractors with relevant conservation experience were therefore within the intended supplier pool. These are focused heritage repair works, not a broad civil engineering programme.
