This project falls under the industry category of Development Consultancy Services and involves conducting assessment checks on M6 Motorway structures across various regions, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom.

The contract, valued at approximately £135,354.42, commenced on 12th May 2025 and will conclude on 31st March 2026. The procurement reached the award stage as of 13th May 2025. 

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, especially for enterprises proficient in infrastructural consultancy and engineering services. The awarded contract was obtained by Ove Arup & Partners Limited, a large-scale supplier known for its expertise in managing complex structural analyses and interventions. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in similar consultancy and repair services may find such procurement processes particularly advantageous, as the current framework recognises the suitability of SMEs for participating in related tenders. This opportunity paves the way for businesses aiming to expand their portfolio within the realm of civil engineering and motorway management.

## Notice

M6 College/Aldridge Road carries the M6 Motorway over the A453 College Road at its junction with Aldridge Road. This three-span structure is comprised of side cantilever spans formed from voided reinforced concrete slabs with a reinforced concrete suspended span acting compositely with 10 longitudinal steel box girders. It has been found that cracking is propagating at many stiffener and bracing locations within several box girders. There have been two holding repair interventions over the last 10 years, and it has been noted that the distribution and number of observed cracks has increased significantly over the intervening period. It is anticipated that if left unattended some of the cracks will propagate into the box girder webs. If this event were to occur, it is likely that load restrictions will need to be imposed and the repair intervention to address the web cracking will be disruptive.
