Summary of the contracting process

South Gloucestershire Council procured the replacement of the Ormonds Close pedestrian footbridge in Bradley Stoke, South Gloucestershire. The requirement was to supply, deliver and install a 10-metre steel pedestrian bridge with a cambered profile and fascia. This is a construction works requirement covering steel bridge and footbridge construction. The work is for a local authority and relates to a specific pedestrian crossing, so relevant suppliers are those able to manufacture or source suitable steel bridge structures, coordinate delivery and complete installation on site. The requirement was organised as one lot and concerns a single bridge replacement rather than a broader bridge maintenance or highways programme.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. South Gloucestershire Council awarded the contract to SARUM HARDWOOD STRUCTURES LIMITED. The award is active and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026, starts on 28 July 2026 and ends on 30 November 2026. Its value is £31,700 excluding VAT and £38,040 including VAT. The award date is not stated in the available procurement details. The process covered one lot. The published outcome identifies the requirement and selected supplier, but does not set out a scored evaluation breakdown or separate quality and price weightings.

For a future requirement of this type, credible suppliers would need experience designing, manufacturing or supplying steel pedestrian bridges, including structures with a cambered profile and fascia. They would also need the capacity to manage delivery to Bradley Stoke and carry out safe installation at a live or public-facing pedestrian location. Relevant capability may include structural fabrication, engineering coordination, transport planning, site installation and compliance with the technical and safety requirements for bridge works. The award to an SME demonstrates that a specialist smaller contractor can satisfy this scale of local-authority bridge replacement. Firms with an integrated supply-and-install model, or dependable specialist fabrication and installation partners, would be well placed when comparable work returns to market.
