## Summary

Highways England has recently completed a tender titled "Heat Strengthening of Repairs to M6 Accident Damaged Bridges and Various Bridge Half Joint Assessments". This procurement, classified under the CPV category for research and development services, was initiated in the South East of the United Kingdom. The contract aims to provide specialist feasibility, design, and on-site supervision for repair work on three bridges impacted by high-sided vehicles. The tender period concluded on 17 November 2018, with the contract's active phase starting on 29 November 2018 and running until 30 September 2019. It was procured through a selective method, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement, with an awarded value of approximately £203,412.05.

This contract presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in structural engineering, bridge maintenance, and consultancy services. Companies that can showcase expertise in innovative repair techniques, particularly those that focus on minimising disruption during project execution, will be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, larger firms with the capacity to handle such complex engineering projects, along with a strong track record in managing government contracts, are encouraged to consider participation in future tenders from Highways England.

## Notice

Highways England is looking to set up a contract for provision of specialist feasibility, design and supervision on site for heat strengthening repairs to three bridges that were subject to impact by high sided vehicles. The technique of reheating existing bridge deck beams allows for the avoidance of expensive and disruptive propping works that may be needed for replacement of the whole beam or a section of it. The technique is supported by Safety Engineering and Standards (SES), in conjunction with an assessment of capacity that will be needed to determine any detrimental effects left by the damage and heating treatment technique.
