## Summary

Saffron Walden Town Council is procuring works to repair an underground culvert in Bridge End Gardens, Saffron Walden. The requirement covers repointing and brickwork repairs to a culvert originally constructed in the early 1800s. It is approximately 1.2 metres high and 85 metres long, with around 20 square metres of repointing and 20 square metres of new brickwork required in isolated areas. The work is classified as culvert construction and repair (CPV 45221220). The council is the buyer, with Wilby & Burnett LLP acting as its procuring agent and process contact. Delivery is at Bridge End Gardens in Saffron Walden, Essex.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited contractors to submit offers through an accelerated open procedure because of urgency. The deadline for both enquiries and tender submissions is 4 September 2026 at 16:00. Offers are to be evaluated by 7 September 2026 at 23:59. The contract is scheduled to run from 9 September to 9 October 2026. The estimated value is £10,000 excluding VAT, or £12,000 including VAT. There is one lot, and the opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Award is based equally on cost and quality, with each weighted at 50%. Electronic submission is allowed in English through the procuring agent’s website.

This opportunity suits contractors with practical experience repairing historic or underground brick structures, particularly firms able to combine traditional repointing with localised replacement brickwork. Suppliers should be capable of assessing and working within a confined culvert approximately 1.2 metres high, carrying out repairs along an 85-metre structure and delivering isolated areas of new brickwork to the required standard. Relevant masonry, conservation, civil engineering or culvert-repair experience would place a contractor well for the requirement. The scale is accessible to an SME with a suitably skilled brickwork team, appropriate site-management arrangements and the capacity to complete a short, urgent repair programme. Contractors should review the detailed tender information and site map before deciding whether the works match their methods and resources.
