## Summary

Westmorland and Furness Council procured concrete repair works at Blackridge Bridge on the A6. The requirement is classified as concrete work and concerns repairs to the bridge structure, rather than the supply of standalone materials or general construction services. The work is delivered at the A6 Blackridge Bridge in the United Kingdom. This is a single works requirement managed by the council as the public-sector buyer. It would be relevant to contractors with practical experience of repairing concrete bridge infrastructure, working in or alongside live highway environments, and delivering defined structural repair packages for local authorities. The named requirement is focused and site-specific, so businesses whose work is limited to unrelated building, consultancy or routine maintenance services are less likely to be suited.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to IT Shaw Limited on 18 June 2026. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot and one bid recorded. The award value was £27,450 excluding VAT, or £32,940 including VAT. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from 28 August 2026 to 30 September 2026. The award is active and the contract is active. The recorded bid statistics show one final-stage bid, which was from an SME, and no final-stage bids from voluntary, community or social enterprises. The process therefore resulted in a single successful supplier for the complete concrete repair requirement.

This award shows that Westmorland and Furness Council buys small, discrete packages of concrete bridge repair through a limited competition route below the public procurement threshold. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate the workforce, plant and practical expertise to inspect, prepare and repair concrete bridge elements safely and to complete a tightly defined highway works package. Experience of working for councils or other infrastructure owners would help demonstrate an understanding of public-sector site controls, records, quality requirements and coordination with highway operations. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement was deliverable by a specialist smaller contractor rather than only a major civil engineering group. Firms with a focused bridge-repair capability are the closest comparators.
