This tender falls under the industry category of structural engineering consultancy services. The procurement is at the tender stage and follows an open procedure. The tender submission deadline is set for 25th February 2026, with an enquiry period ending on 20th February 2026. The contract, valued at approximately £1.32 million (gross), will cover a six-year rolling programme of inspections and services related to approximately 78 highway structures, excluding the five river bridges. The services will be provided within the City of London's jurisdiction, with detailed inspections planned every two to six years to ensure the safety and integrity of these structures. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the structural engineering and consultancy sector to partner with a prominent public authority in the UK. Companies with experience in managing and inspecting civil infrastructure projects, particularly in confined spaces, will find this contract particularly advantageous. The contract offers a robust platform for long-term business growth and potential extensions subject to performance, providing firms the chance to expand their portfolio in public sector infrastructure projects. The open procurement method invites competitive proposals, making it essential for businesses to deliver compelling bids that address the specified technical and price criteria. ## Notice The service to be provided relates primarily to the Client's local authority function in relation to its stock of approximately 78 highway structures but excluding the five river bridges referred to above. The stock consists of road-over-road bridges, road-over-rail bridges, pedestrian walkway-over-road bridges, pedestrian subways and a network of service subways. The Consultant should note that the network of service subways are defined as confined spaces and a permit to work procedure is operated. This is also the case for the disused pedestrian subways and public convenience in the Aldgate area, which are now sealed and accessed by manholes in most cases. The Client undertakes a 6-year rolling programme of structural inspection which consists of a General Inspection (GI) of each bridge every two years and a more detailed Principal Inspection (PI) every 6 years. A draft inspection programme for the contract period is included in Annex 4.
