## Summary

Derby City Council procured carriageway investigation works at Alfreton Road Rail Bridge. The requirement is described as “Carriageway Investigations 2026”; the procurement classifies it as construction work. The work relates to investigating the carriageway at the named rail bridge, rather than a wider roads programme. The listed delivery location is the United Kingdom, while the named site is Alfreton Road Rail Bridge. The council is the buyer, responsible for the purchase. This is a specific, site-based highways investigation requirement, so firms whose work covers carriageway or highway investigations and associated construction services are the most relevant audience. The contract was placed through the council’s internal highways framework.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Derby City Council used a selective call-off from its internal Highways Framework. The tender submission deadline was 3 October 2026, and the award was made on 4 October 2026. Whitehouse Construction Co. Limited was selected, with an awarded value of £30,000. The contract period ran from 5 to 10 October 2026. The tender’s estimated value was also £30,000. The opportunity was categorised as works. No lots are recorded. The recorded suitability assessment says the procurement was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement details, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be described further.

This award shows Derby City Council buying a targeted carriageway investigation at a rail bridge through its internal highways framework. A supplier seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need to be capable of delivering site-specific highway investigation work and operating within the council’s framework call-off route. The successful supplier was a large construction company, indicating that the work was placed with a supplier of that scale; the procurement’s suitability assessment also indicates that smaller businesses were not considered suitable for this requirement. Firms with relevant carriageway investigation experience and the capacity to undertake short-duration, focused works at a bridge site are therefore best placed to be credible when comparable work is next procured. The scope points to highways investigation capability, rather than general construction alone.
