UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned an independent principal inspection and condition assessment of the A453 bridge over Network Rail land at Ratcliffe-on-Soar. The work covers inspecting the bridge, assessing its condition, producing a report and recommending maintenance. This is a specialist bridge-inspection service for a road structure situated on railway land; the requirement is focused on one bridge rather than a wider inspection programme.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Network Rail. The award is active, and the contract is also active; it was signed on 6 October 2026. The contract runs from 6 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £20,545.02 excluding VAT (£24,654.03 including VAT). The process used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one lot, covering the bridge inspection and condition assessment. No award evaluation criteria are recorded.

This award demonstrates demand from National Highways for independent principal inspection and condition assessment of a road bridge located over railway land, including a written report and maintenance recommendations. Network Rail was selected for this requirement. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work from this buyer would need credible bridge-inspection expertise and the ability to assess structural condition, report findings clearly and recommend appropriate maintenance. Experience working on or around railway land would be relevant to the site context, alongside the practical capacity to inspect a single bridge and deliver the associated assessment and reporting.
