## Summary

Westmorland and Furness Council commissioned bridge repair works for the Roger Howe structure in the North West. The work covers repairs to reinforced concrete, particularly around half-joints, and replacement of movement joints in the bridge deck. Investigations of the concrete informed construction drawings and a repair specification, which form the basis for carrying out the works. This is a civil engineering and bridge maintenance requirement, rather than a supply contract. The buyer is the council, and the delivery area is identified as the North West. The procurement was designated as works and was considered suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Metcalfe Plant Hire Limited on 11 June 2026. The awarded value is £913,795.03. The estimated tender value was £400,000; this is distinct from the final award value. The contract period runs from 15 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The council used a selective process as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 1 June 2026 at 09:00. The available evaluation details do not state a specific scoring basis. The award is for the bridge repair and movement-joint replacement works described above.

This award shows demand from Westmorland and Furness Council for contractors able to deliver bridge-deck repairs, including remedial work to reinforced concrete around half-joints and replacement of movement joints. A credible competitor for this same requirement would need practical bridge maintenance and concrete repair expertise, and the ability to work to construction drawings and a repair specification informed by prior investigations. The council used a framework call-off route, so relevant suppliers would need access to an appropriate framework to compete through the same route. The work was considered suitable for an SME, and the successful supplier is an SME. The award provides a concrete example of the type and scale of civil engineering work this buyer has commissioned.

## Notice

In December 2025 investigatory works were undertaken to establish the condition of the reinforced concrete, concentrating mainly around half-joints and movement joints in the bridge deck. The results of these investigations have been incorporated in a set of construction drawings and a repair specification. This information will form the basis of a Stage 2 contract to implement repairs and replacement of movement joints.
