## Summary

Westmorland and Furness Council procured repair works to the parapets of Nether Bridge, a bridge structure in the North West of England. The work is a civil engineering and bridge maintenance requirement, focused on repairing the bridge parapets. The project description refers to an outlined description of works in the tender documents, but the stated scope here is limited to parapet repairs. The council is the buyer, and the recorded delivery area is the North West. This is a works contract rather than a supply or general services requirement. The award went to Metcalfe Plant Hire Limited, a small and medium-sized enterprise based in Penrith, Cumbria.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Metcalfe Plant Hire Limited. The award was made on 12 August 2026, following a selective process conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract value is £33,840.46. The contract period runs from 22 February 2027 to 3 March 2027. The tender deadline was 7 August 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was classified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and not suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises. No lots are identified. The award is active, and the recorded contract period is the period for carrying out the repair work.

This award shows that Westmorland and Furness Council buys targeted bridge maintenance, including parapet repairs, through call-offs from a framework. Suppliers seeking to compete when comparable work returns will need to be able to undertake practical bridge repair works and deliver a defined civil engineering task within a short, scheduled period. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that this scale of requirement can be met by a smaller specialist contractor rather than only by a large infrastructure firm. Credibility will depend on relevant bridge repair capability, the capacity to mobilise for a tightly bounded project, and readiness to compete through the council’s framework route. The requirement is specific to bridge parapets, so contractors whose experience covers structural bridge maintenance are the closest fit.
