This procurement is in the Award stage as of 21st August 2024, with key dates including tender submission closed on 21st June 2024 and contract commencement on 23rd August 2024. The project involves the demolition of the existing bridge structure, retaining some substructures, and building a new bridge to replace the old one. The total value of the contract awarded is approximately £470,000 GBP, to be completed by 29th July 2025. The contract has been awarded to Cubby Construction Ltd. This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs, especially those specialising in construction and infrastructure projects. Given that the project involves detailed design, construction, and technical approval responsibilities, businesses with expertise in civil engineering, structural analysis, and public infrastructure would be well-suited to compete. The requirement for a contractor-designed element also opens doors for firms that excel in bespoke engineering solutions, making it an ideal project for those looking to establish or amplify their presence in the public sector construction market. ## Notice The existing Buckbarrow Bridge is a two-span structure with the superstructure consisting of two equal spans of 8.75m. The bridge carried the U4064 County Road over Buckbarrow Beck (Non-main river). A load assessment of the bridge was carried out in May 2022, which identified significant failings in the original load assessment which was undertaken in 2000. Following this, an Interim Measures Feasibility report was produced which identified the need for a 3-tonne weight limit and a fortnightly inspection regime. During the course of these fortnightly inspections the deterioration of the bridge began to accelerate, and a decision was made to close the bridge on August 30th, 2023, to safeguard the public. A partial demolition of the existing structure has been commissioned by Cumberland Council and is expected to be concluded in advance of this contract commencing. The bridge deck superstructure is to be demolished by the demolition contract, the substructures (central pier, abutment pad foundations, wing walls / training walls) will be retained and demolished as part of this contract. The successful contractor will be responsible for the detailed design, AiP and Technical Approval Authority (TAA) sign-off of the replacement structure and associated elements including parapets, scour protection and surfacing, demolition of the remaining substructure elements and construction of the new structure. Following completion of this scheme the U4064 will be reopened to highway traffic. This project is to be let as a construction contract with Contractor designed elements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e6c51a69-7650-424a-be06-4b565afefb2a | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Aug 2024 | | Submission deadline | 21 Jun 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 19 Aug 2024 | | Contract period | 22 Aug 2024 - 29 Jul 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £470,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £370,659 | | 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 | CUMBERLAND COUNCIL | | Locality | CARLISLE | | Post town | Carlisle | | Postcode | CA1 1RD | | 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 | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CUBBY CONSTRUCTION | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 21 Aug 2024 at 09:56 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e6c51a69-7650-424a-be06-4b565afefb2a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e6c51a69-7650-424a-be06-4b565afefb2a 21st August 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.cumberland.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
