Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council commissioned bridge investigation and repair works at Kingsteignton Bridge, involving pontoon-mounted scaffolding in the River Teign. The scope covers removing concrete encasement from the underside of the bridge girders, inspecting the underlying steel elements and reinstating the protection with Hammerite paint. This is a construction and minor civil engineering requirement, with a marine access element because the scaffolding is to be mounted on pontoons in the river. The work is for Devon County Council and is located at Kingsteignton Bridge in Devon. It was procured as a work order under the council’s Minor Engineering Works Framework 2026–30, Lot 2.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a competitive quotation procedure under a selective, below-threshold framework award route. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and runs from 4 September to 31 October 2026. The awarded supplier is Marine & Civil Solutions Ltd. The contract value is £14,650.28 excluding VAT, or £17,580.34 including VAT. Evaluation took place through the framework’s quotation procedure, in accordance with Section 10 of the Framework Information. The single lot is complete and the contract is active. The requirement was treated as below threshold and awarded under the Minor Engineering Works Framework rather than through an open standalone tender.

This award shows demand from Devon County Council for specialist minor engineering work combining temporary works, marine access and bridge fabric inspection. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable requirements would need credible capability in pontoon-mounted scaffolding or equivalent river-based access, safe work around water, and controlled removal and reinstatement of concrete encasement. Relevant competence in inspecting structural steelwork and applying protective coatings such as Hammerite would also be important. The buyer’s use of its Minor Engineering Works Framework and a competitive quotation route indicates that businesses need to understand framework work-order procedures and be able to respond clearly to focused quotations. Marine and civil engineering SMEs with the necessary practical resources and bridge-maintenance experience are particularly well aligned.
