## Summary

The public procurement process undertaken by Newport City Council involved the replacement of fatigued bearing plinths and concrete repairs on the A467 Bassaleg Bridge located in Newport, United Kingdom. This initiative falls under the services industry category with a specific focus on bridge-inspection services. The procurement method was direct, defined as below threshold and without competition, indicating a streamlined procurement process suitable for urgent or specialised needs. The contract, awarded to Freyssinet Ltd, was signed on 16th January 2026, with services expected to commence from 1st February 2026 and conclude by 31st March 2026, with potential extensions until the completion of the works. The buyer, Newport City Council, is classified as a public authority operating under Welsh devolved regulations.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those with expertise in infrastructure maintenance and repair. Firms capable of safely lifting bridge decks to replace structural components would find this contract beneficial for enhancing their experience, reputation, and business portfolios. As an SME itself and a voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE), the awarded supplier, Freyssinet Ltd, showcases the potential for enterprises of similar scale and capability to successfully secure such contracts, thereby fostering growth within the specialised construction and engineering sector. This project, funded at a gross value of £180,000, underscores the lucrative potential for businesses operating within this domain.

## Notice

A467 Bassaleg Bridge has recently been found to have severe erosion of concrete bearing plinths. They must be replaced to prevent failure of the structure. The plinths have severely eroded since the last Principal Inspection 11 months ago. The dual carriageway above will need narrowing to one lane to keep heavy vehicles away from the defect area. there are few competent contractors able to lift bridge decks in order to replace the plinths.
