Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council commissioned strengthening works to Barton Footbridge. This is a construction project focused on improving the existing footbridge, rather than a general bridge-building programme. The work is in Barton, North Yorkshire. The procurement was arranged as a competitive award under a framework, indicating that the council used an established framework route to select a contractor for this requirement. The selected supplier, PBS Construction (North East) Ltd, is based in Hull and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement is relevant to construction contractors with experience in structural strengthening and the delivery of works to existing bridge infrastructure for a local authority.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The North Yorkshire Council selected PBS Construction (North East) Ltd through a competitive process under a framework. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and runs from 31 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £117,536 excluding VAT, or £141,043.20 including VAT. The procurement was below the applicable threshold. It comprised one lot, for the Barton Footbridge strengthening works. The award is active, and the contract is in progress. No evaluation criteria or detailed eligibility requirements are stated in the published process information.

This award demonstrates demand from The North Yorkshire Council for targeted strengthening works to existing footbridge infrastructure, delivered through a competitive framework call-off. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need construction capability suited to structural strengthening and the practical delivery of works on an existing bridge. Relevant experience managing public-sector construction work would help demonstrate an understanding of council requirements and framework-based competition. The scale is a focused, single-bridge works package, rather than a large multi-site programme, and a small or medium-sized contractor was able to win this contract. Firms with suitable bridge-work expertise and the capacity to complete a defined infrastructure project would therefore be well placed when this particular type of requirement arises again.
