## Summary

The procurement process for the project titled "Difficult Access Structures Inspections" was conducted by Bedford Borough Council, which falls under the services industry category specifically classified as site-investigation services. This contract was awarded on 23rd December 2016, with a total contract value of £29,980. The work took place from 3rd January 2017 to 24th March 2017 and involved inspections requiring specialist access due to challenging conditions. The procurement method used was a selective restricted procedure, and the delivery address was located in the East of England.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in site-investigation and related services, particularly those experienced in managing complex access situations like diving or confined space work. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the suitability criteria. Companies with expertise in marine and civil engineering, as exemplified by the awarded supplier, Kaymac Marine & Civil Engineering Ltd, would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future.

## Notice

As part of Bedford Borough Council's maintenance programme certain structures needed to have full access inspections, which lead to specific access difficulties. These include diving, wading at depth or confined spaced entry.
