UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council commissioned emergency construction works at Potts Beck Bridge in Litton. The requirement concerns construction work associated with the bridge and the Potts Beck location, rather than a general construction framework or routine maintenance service. The council is the public-sector buyer. The selected supplier, Thomas Armstrong (Construction) Ltd, is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Maryport. Businesses with experience in civil engineering, bridge works, structural repairs or urgent public infrastructure construction would find the requirement most relevant. The works are tied to a named bridge site in Litton, so suppliers assessing their operational suitability should consider their ability to mobilise personnel, equipment and materials to the location and manage emergency construction activity.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Thomas Armstrong (Construction) Ltd was selected for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 11 September 2026 and runs from 14 September 2026 to 10 October 2026. Its value is £150,000 excluding VAT and £180,000 including VAT. The contract is active. The tender was classified as works and used construction work as its classification. This outcome records a direct award rather than a competed tender, with the council appointing one supplier for the emergency works at Potts Beck Bridge. The procurement is below the relevant threshold.

For a supplier that did not receive this award, the procurement demonstrates North Yorkshire Council’s demand for urgent construction work at bridge infrastructure and its use of a direct below-threshold route for an emergency requirement. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need practical civil engineering or bridge-construction capability, experience of structural or emergency repair work, and the ability to mobilise a suitable workforce, plant and materials quickly. The selected supplier’s SME status also shows that this type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller construction business rather than only by a large national contractor. Relevant businesses should be able to evidence safe, reliable delivery of works at a defined bridge site and manage a short, intensive construction programme.
