## Summary

Westmorland and Furness Council procured civil engineering works to design and reconstruct the failed Newbiggin Manor Farm culvert on the U5413 public highway near Lupton, Cumbria. The project concerns a 1,200mm by 900mm, 7.5-metre scoured-out skewed masonry and concrete culvert, rebuilt to its existing internal dimensions. The structure carries the public highway over a dry or flashy watercourse approximately 250 metres upstream of the Lupton Beck main watercourse. The works must be designed and constructed to carry full construction and operational traffic loading. This is a highway drainage and culvert reconstruction project, classified under CPV 45221220 for culverts, and falls within the works category. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a call-off from a framework. Bids were due by 17 April 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 12 May 2026 to Metcalfe Plant Hire Limited for £98,529.96 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 15 September 2026 to 24 September 2026. The award is active, and the tender status is complete. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process; the published procurement information does not set out separate quality, price or other scoring weightings. The award covers the full culvert design and reconstruction project rather than separate lots, with one supplier selected for delivery.

This procurement indicates demand from Westmorland and Furness Council for compact, specialist highway civil engineering projects involving culvert renewal and watercourse crossings. A credible future supplier would need the capability to survey, design and reconstruct masonry and concrete culverts while maintaining the required internal dimensions and accommodating full construction and road-use loading. Relevant experience would include work on public highways, drainage structures, skewed or damaged culverts, and sites affected by dry or rapidly flowing watercourses. Delivery would also require practical construction capacity, suitable plant and competent site management for a short, intensive works programme. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that businesses of similar scale with framework access and directly relevant delivery experience can compete for this type of requirement.
