This initiative falls under the category of construction work for bridges and tunnels, specifically targeting the maintenance and inspection of approximately 1,800 highway bridges and other structures throughout Cumbria. The tender period concluded on 18 March 2020, while the contract runs from 1 May 2020 to 30 April 2026. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, with a total value of £2 million, aimed at ensuring the structural integrity of critical infrastructure in the North West of the United Kingdom. This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in underwater inspection, repair works, and maintenance services. Companies with expertise in civil engineering, particularly those focused on bridge construction and maintenance, would find this tender particularly relevant. Additionally, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the contract is structured to allow for contributions from SMEs, potentially fostering innovation and diversification in this essential field of public infrastructure management. ## Notice ***Please view oppounity available via The Chest https://www.the-chest.org.uk/ *** The County Council is responsible for around 1,800 highway bridges, 1,000 footbridges, over 500 retaining walls and over 900 culverts. Many of these structures are founded below water level and are prone to erosion and scour damage. This was most significantly demonstrated during the storm Desmond floods when a number of bridges were destroyed or needed to be closed due to the severe action of the flood waters. As part of its capital works programme the Council undertakes routine underwater inspections of a proportion of its structures assets each year to identify and repair any defects that if left unattended could result in structural collapse and risk to the public. This term contract is for underwater inspection, underwater repairs and debris recovery for bridges and structures across Cumbria. The contract will comprise annual routine inspection and repairs works with additional reactive works commissioned through task orders. The agreement will be based on the NEC3 term contract amended in accordance with the Highway Maintenance Efficiency Programme guidance. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/03db4eb9-be89-426b-8c36-6accb87d6623 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Jun 2020 | | Submission deadline | 18 Mar 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 22 Jun 2020 | | Contract period | 23 Jun 2020 - 25 Jun 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CUMBRIA COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | CARLISLE | | Post town | Carlisle | | Postcode | CA1 1RZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD1 Cumbria | | ITL 3 | TLD13 Cumberland | | Local authority | Cumberland | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Carlisle | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | NOT AWARDED | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45221000 - Construction work for bridges and tunnels, shafts and subways ## Release History - 23 Jun 2020 at 14:25 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/03db4eb9-be89-426b-8c36-6accb87d6623 - 21 Feb 2020 at 14:28 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/acef10f5-f69c-4549-bc4d-39a2e5bc9ee9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/03db4eb9-be89-426b-8c36-6accb87d6623 22nd June 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/acef10f5-f69c-4549-bc4d-39a2e5bc9ee9 21st February 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=15ee921b-b454-ea11-80ff-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.cumbria.gov.uk/ - https://www.the-chest.org.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
