## Summary

Nottingham City Council procured 66 general bridge inspections, called off from its structural engineering highways framework. The work is classified as construction, but the requirement is for professional inspection services to assess bridges. Delivery is in England. The buyer is Nottingham City Council, based in Nottingham. The procurement relates to the council’s highways infrastructure and offers a clear example of its demand for bridge inspection expertise through an established engineering framework.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Waterman Aspen Ltd. The award was made on 4 September 2026. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 7 March 2027, with an awarded value of £29,916.54. The requirement was for 66 general bridge inspections and was called off from Lot 2, Structural Engineers, of the CPU 8189 Highways Managed Framework. The submission deadline was 31 August 2026. The procurement method is described as “Other”; no evaluation criteria are recorded in the process information.

For suppliers that did not win, this award shows Nottingham City Council buys targeted bridge inspection work through its highways structural engineering framework. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to provide qualified structural engineering capability and capacity to inspect multiple bridges within a defined delivery period. The awarded supplier is identified as an SME, and the tender marked the work as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that this scale of inspection work was not restricted to large organisations. Experience in bridge assessment and the ability to deliver inspections under a managed highways framework would be relevant strengths when competing for the same type of requirement from this buyer.»
