## Summary

Westmorland and Furness Council procured structural engineering consultancy services (CPV 71312000) to assess five road bridges in the North West of England. The bridges include Brough New on the B6276 and bridges on the A591, with structures variously formed from masonry with reinforced-concrete extensions, reinforced concrete, and corrugated steel buried construction. The assessments were required to follow Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) standards and the detailed project scope. This is a specialist bridge inspection and structural assessment requirement for a local authority’s road network, delivered across the named routes and associated locations in the North West. The procurement was identified as Lot 2B, Structural Assessments 2025–26.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a call-off from a framework. Bids were due by 2 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the contract was awarded on 5 March 2026. Westmorland and Furness Council awarded the contract to WSP UK Limited for £64,850 including the stated procurement value. The contract runs from 7 April 2026 to 9 October 2026. The requirement was treated as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award concerns a single lot covering the five bridge assessments. The published information identifies the service category and DMRB-based scope, while the commercial outcome is recorded as an active award to the named supplier.

This award indicates demand for specialist bridge and structural engineering consultancy supporting a local authority road network. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the technical capability to assess masonry, reinforced-concrete and corrugated-steel buried bridge structures, and to produce work compliant with DMRB standards. Relevant experience in road bridge inspections, structural assessment, condition appraisal and engineering reporting would be important, together with the capacity to coordinate surveys across several highway assets and routes. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, so a specialist small or medium-sized consultancy with suitably qualified structural engineers could be well placed, either independently or through a framework arrangement. Familiarity with public-sector bridge documentation, safety controls and council procurement processes would strengthen its position when this type of work returns.
