## Summary

Northumberland County Council bought scaffold materials to form an access platform beneath the soffit of Heugh Street Bridge. This is a goods requirement for scaffolding and associated materials, rather than a broader scaffolding installation or construction contract. The materials support access to the underside of the bridge, so relevant businesses are suppliers or manufacturers able to provide suitable scaffold systems and components for bridge maintenance or repair environments. The named buyer is Northumberland County Council. The requirement is associated with Heugh Street Bridge and delivery within the council’s operating area. The procurement was awarded to Castle Scaffold (Northern) Limited, an SME based in North Shields, indicating that a specialist regional scaffolding supplier was considered capable of meeting the materials requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Northumberland County Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the legal basis identified as 2023/54. There was one completed lot. Castle Scaffold (Northern) Limited received the award for the scaffold materials, with an awarded contract value of £81,498 gross. The contract was signed on 23 December 2025 and runs from 1 January 2026 to 31 July 2026. The contract title confirms that the purchase is specifically for forming an access platform to the soffit of Heugh Street Bridge. The recorded classification is scaffolding. The outcome shows that the council selected a single supplier for the complete requirement rather than dividing the purchase between suppliers.

This procurement is commercially relevant to businesses supplying scaffold materials for civil engineering, bridge maintenance and restricted-access work. A credible future supplier would need to understand the technical demands of creating a safe access platform beneath a bridge soffit, including the compatibility, load-bearing performance and practical deployment of scaffold components. Experience supplying materials for infrastructure maintenance would help demonstrate that capability. Suppliers should also be able to manage delivery of a complete materials package to a council requirement and support the programme of works through reliable availability, technical advice and coordinated logistics. The award to a specialist SME shows that this type of requirement can suit a focused scaffolding business rather than only a large construction contractor. The buyer’s direct-award route also indicates a potential need to monitor council purchasing activity and build relevant supplier relationships.
