Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council commissioned emergency repair works to the damaged arch at Middleham Bridge, a Grade II listed bridge in Middleham, North Yorkshire. The work is intended to make the structure safe and restore access after a vehicle impact. It includes temporary support and scaffolding, dismantling and removing unstable masonry, and storing salvaged materials. The scope also allows for possible future reconstruction of the arch and associated masonry. This is civil engineering and bridge repair work, rather than a general construction package. The contract covers Middleham Bridge in North Yorkshire.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly, without competition, to Wilf Noble Construction & Plant Hire Limited. The contract was signed on 11 September 2026, with a stated period from 14 September 2026 to 16 July 2027. Its value is £90,000 excluding VAT (£108,000 including VAT). The stated basis was emergency repair following vehicle damage to the bridge; the procurement was below threshold. There was one lot, covering the bridge repair works. The award is active and the contract is active. The award record does not state separate evaluation criteria or a competitive assessment basis.

For suppliers specialising in bridge and structural masonry repair, this award demonstrates North Yorkshire Council’s demand for emergency stabilisation and repair of listed infrastructure. A credible competitor for similar work would need to mobilise promptly, safely support a damaged structure, erect scaffolding, dismantle unstable masonry and handle salvaged materials appropriately. The scope’s potential reconstruction element also points to the value of experience in traditional masonry and working sensitively on a listed bridge, alongside the capacity to restore access. The council used a direct award without competition for this emergency requirement, so familiarity with the buyer’s delivery needs and the ability to respond to urgent damage would be commercially relevant when comparable work arises.
