## Summary

The procurement process for the "Underwater Bridge Maintenance and Repair Term Contract" is being conducted by Cumbria County Council, targeting the construction industry focused on bridge work. The contract, valued at £1,500,000, is in the award stage as of January 29, 2021, with a contract period beginning on February 1, 2021, and ending on January 31, 2027. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, with the tender period having concluded on December 3, 2020. Projects will take place throughout the North West region of the United Kingdom, involving both planned and reactive maintenance tasks through task orders based on the NEC3 term contract guidelines.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialised in construction and maintenance services, particularly those with experience in underwater operations. Given the nature of the contract, businesses engaged in marine services, diving operations, and structural repair work would be ideally suited to compete. The successful contractor will be responsible not only for regular maintenance but also for urgent repairs, potentially leading to ongoing contracts and projects within the region.

## Notice

As part of its capital works programme the Council carries out reactive maintenance and repair a number of its structures assets where defects occur or are identified that if left unattended could result in structural collapse and risk to the public. This term contract is for underwater maintenance, repairs and debris recovery for bridges and structures across Cumbria. The contract will comprise both planned repair works and additional reactive works all commissioned through task orders. The agreement will be based on the NEC3 term contract amended in accordance with the Highway Maintenance Efficiency Programme guidance.
