Summary of the contracting process

Argyll and Bute Council commissioned a bridge maintenance scheme at Cothouse Bridge on the A815 in Argyll and Bute. The works are intended to extend the structure’s life while keeping the road open to vehicles and pedestrians. The scope covers waterproofing, drainage, reinforced-concrete soffit repairs, parapet works and vegetation clearance needed to access the bridge. This is civil engineering and bridge repair work (CPV 45220000), delivered at Cothouse Bridge. The requirement was let as a single package and included electronic ordering, electronic payment and permitted electronic invoicing. The council is the public-sector buyer and manages the works requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. One package was evaluated, with four electronic bids received, all from SMEs. Bids were due by 19 June 2026 at 12:00, with a 120-day bid validity period; the contract period is 120 days. Concrete Repairs Ltd (CRL) was selected for the bridge works. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and is active, with a value of £594,565. The tender did not allow variants, and there are no renewal or additional-purchase options. The contract uses NEC3 ECC Option A with Z clauses. The requirement was assessed through economic and technical selection criteria.

This award shows demand from Argyll and Bute Council for contractors able to deliver multidisciplinary bridge maintenance in a live-road environment. Suppliers seeking similar work will need practical capability in bridge waterproofing, drainage, reinforced-concrete repair, parapet construction or repair, and controlled vegetation clearance, with the ability to coordinate these activities as one scheme. Experience of maintaining access for both vehicles and pedestrians is relevant, as is the capacity to work to structured activity schedules and NEC3 ECC Option A arrangements with project-specific Z clauses. A credible competitor would be able to demonstrate sound civil engineering delivery, suitable site management and the resources to complete a short, focused bridge-renewal project.
