## Summary

Bracknell Forest Borough Council recently awarded a contract for bridge maintenance, concerning the management of its highways structures. This contract was issued under a limited procurement method, following a tender process initiated on June 1st, 2025, with bids evaluated by the Council. Despite initial submission via open procedure, the Council found no suitable tenders, leading to a negotiated procedure without competition. The contract, valued at £1,000,000, was awarded to Atkins Ltd and signed on 15th May 2025. This process ensures continuity of vital services related to public safety and infrastructure, particularly within the UK's civil engineering sector.

This procurement provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in civil and structural engineering, particularly those offering consultancy services in asset management. With a commitment to professional handling of highway structures, enterprises with expertise in engineering works and construction could find lucrative growth avenues. Firms experienced in working under regional authority contracts and dealing with infrastructure projects would be well-suited to compete in future related tenders or extensions, given the scope for long-term contractual engagements.

### Procurement Information

The Council conducted a compliant Above Threshold tender process under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, using the Open Procedure, with bids submitted on 06/01/2025. 2 bids were received in response to this tender, which were then evaluated by the Council. Both bids failed to meet the minimum criteria defined within the tender documents and were therefore considered non-compliant bids and were set aside. In the absence of compliant viable bids, the Council proceeded to enter a Negotiated Procedure without Competition, to ensure continuity of statutory services and public safety over local road infrastructure. Due to the time remaining on the existing contract following evaluation of this tender (2 months) there was insufficient time to carry out a new tender process and ensure continuity of service.
