Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council procured remedial works for Queen’s Bridge, a pre-stressed concrete bridge built in the 1960s carrying the A93 over the River Tay. The works address issues identified during a 2025 principal inspection, beyond routine maintenance. The scope covers crack repairs to underpass 1; cleaning and repainting steel beams in underpass 2; clearing the bridge drainage system; resurfacing the east expansion joint; cleaning and repainting tie rods in both abutments; and small-scale concrete repairs. This is a civil engineering and bridge maintenance requirement, with a contractor appointed to carry out the works. The buyer is Perth & Kinross Council, and the work is centred on Queen’s Bridge and its associated bridge structure over the River Tay.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender deadline and bid opening were 19 June 2026 at 12:00, and four electronic bids were received, all from SMEs. The estimated tender value was £50,000. Geo-Structural Ltd was awarded the contract, which was signed on 16 July 2026 for £71,662.66. The contract is active and has a duration of 60 days. The requirement was evaluated using economic and technical selection criteria. Bidders had to provide six recent examples of similar work: two involving concrete repairs, two masonry repairs and two cleaning and repainting steel. The Council may extend the contract through NEC4 PSC compensation events; variants were not allowed.

This requirement indicates demand for specialist bridge and structural maintenance contractors able to combine concrete repair, masonry repair, steel cleaning and repainting, drainage work and joint resurfacing within a single civil engineering project. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable experience across all three specified repair disciplines, including six comparable projects delivered within the previous five years. The buyer also expects named staff and qualifications, clear subcontracting intentions, and robust quality, health and safety and environmental controls. Relevant evidence may include ISO 9001, ISO 14001, EMAS, an SSIP construction safety assessment or equivalent documented procedures. Financial resilience and insurance capacity are important: positive net assets, a current ratio of at least one, and cover for professional, employer’s, public liability and client property risks.
