UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council commissioned emergency repairs to the damaged parapet of Leven Bridge, a Grade II listed historic masonry structure. A vehicle strike displaced masonry and created an immediate public safety risk. The work covers repairing the parapet using like-for-like materials and meeting heritage requirements. Delivery is at Leven Bridge in Stockton-on-Tees. This is specialist bridge and road-repair work involving the careful conservation of historic masonry, rather than routine maintenance alone. The requirement is centred on making the damaged structure safe while preserving its listed character. The council is the buyer, and the selected contractor is a specialist works supplier.

The procurement is complete: PC Richardson & Co. (M'bro.) Ltd was selected and the contract is active. The council used a direct award without competition under a below-threshold route. The contract was signed on 7 October 2026 and runs from 12 October to 7 December 2026. Its value is £40,000 excluding VAT (£48,000 including VAT). There was one lot, covering the bridge parapet repairs. The published rationale for the emergency requirement is the vehicle damage and resulting public safety risk, together with the specialist demands of repairing a listed masonry structure. The work was directed to a contractor able to demonstrate experience in sensitive repairs to historic masonry, sourcing and installing like-for-like materials, and complying with heritage requirements.

For comparable work for Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council, a credible supplier would need practical experience repairing historic masonry sensitively, particularly on listed structures, and the ability to source and install materials that match the existing fabric. Demonstrable understanding of heritage requirements is central, alongside the technical capability to repair a damaged bridge parapet and address a public safety issue. The selected route was a direct award without competition for an urgent, below-threshold requirement, so relevant specialist expertise and the ability to respond to emergency damage are commercially pertinent. This was a focused repair to a single bridge structure, rather than a broad infrastructure programme; suppliers should be equipped to deliver a defined, specialist conservation repair at this scale.
