Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council procured short-term emergency construction works at Shaldon Bridge. The requirement addressed scour affecting the integrity of the bridge foundations, including the area beneath the lifting-span pier. The scope was described as scour assessment and protection, covering the identified structural risk at this bridge. Delivery was in Devon, at Shaldon Bridge. The procurement was for works rather than goods or routine services, with construction work classified under CPV 45000000. It was a single requirement, covering the complete scope rather than separate packages. The buyer is a sub-central public authority responsible for the bridge and its associated infrastructure. This opportunity is therefore relevant to contractors with experience in bridge safety, scour-related assessment and protective construction works in marine or tidal environments.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Devon County Council used a selective procedure, making a below-threshold award under a framework, with competition between framework suppliers. Teignmouth Maritime Services Ltd was awarded the single lot. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and runs from 29 September 2026 to 1 March 2027. Its value is £203,492.07 excluding VAT, or £244,190.48 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation took place through a competitive framework award route; the published data does not provide separate quality or price weightings. This was a single-lot procurement for the full scour assessment and protection requirement at Shaldon Bridge.

This award demonstrates a specific requirement from Devon County Council for urgent bridge-foundation protection where scour creates a risk to structural integrity. Competitors seeking similar work should be able to assess scour affecting bridge structures, develop suitable protection measures and carry out construction works safely around a lifting-span pier. The successful supplier was an SME based in Dawlish, indicating that the requirement was accessible to a specialist smaller contractor rather than limited to a major national civil engineering firm. Relevant businesses would need credible bridge, marine or water-environment construction capability, practical experience managing work around operational bridge infrastructure and the capacity to deliver short-term emergency interventions. The framework route is also commercially significant: suppliers wanting to pursue comparable council requirements should understand and qualify for the relevant framework purchasing arrangements.
