## Summary

The procurement process for "PSF2 Lot 2 - Principal Bridge Inspections 2018-19" was conducted by Cumbria County Council, focusing on the construction industry. The tender aimed at carrying out Principal Bridge Inspections across 59 bridge sites and 4 footbridge sites in the Cumbria region, specifically in areas including Carlisle, Eden, Allerdale, Copeland, and South Lakes. This process has recently concluded with an award made on 5 March 2018, following a tender period that ended on 23 February 2018. The contract, valued at £172,619, is set to commence on 2 April 2018 and will last until 31 August 2018, offering essential inspections to ensure the safety and compliance of local bridge structures.

This tender presents lucrative opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in construction and engineering services, particularly those with expertise in structural inspections and civil engineering. Businesses that specialise in bridge maintenance and inspection, particularly those familiar with the standards outlined in BD 63/07 and the Management of Highway Structures, would be especially well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. Engaging in such projects can significantly enhance a company's portfolio and showcase its capabilities in addressing local infrastructure needs.

## Notice

Cumbria CC has identified 59 bridge sites and a further 4 highway maintained footbridge sites on the highway network around the County where Principal Bridge Inspections are required. There are 21 number bridges in the Carlisle Area, 13 number bridges in the Eden Area, 12 number bridges in the Allerdale Area, 5 number bridges in the Copeland Area and 12 number bridges in the South Lakes Area. A full Principal Bridge Inspection in accordance with BD 63/07 and the Management of Highway Structures (Code of Practice) is required for each bridge. For clarity, the County Council's interpretation of BD 63/07, in relation to Principal Bridge Inspections, is that access is required at all bridges to allow an Engineer to get within touching distance of all inspectable parts of a structure. No alternatives to this interpretation will be accepted. Subsequently a detailed PBI report, including BCI data sheet(s), in accordance with current County Surveyors Society (CSS) Bridges Guidance, is to be produced for each bridge. It is not envisaged that any confined spaces inspections, diving inspections or other special inspections will be required at this stage. This project was awarded via the professional services framework
