## Summary

The North Yorkshire Council commissioned urgent construction works at Swinden Gill and Gasworks (Penny) Bridge in the Skipton area. The requirement is categorised as construction work and concerns the delivery of urgent works associated with the bridge. North Yorkshire Council is the public-sector buyer, based in Northallerton. The procurement is therefore relevant to construction contractors able to undertake bridge-related works in or around the Skipton area, particularly businesses with the operational ability to respond to urgent infrastructure requirements. The named requirement covers one work package focused on the Swinden Gill and Gasworks (Penny) Bridge, rather than a wider programme of construction services across multiple locations.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. North Yorkshire Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the stated legal basis. The contract was signed on 11 September 2026 and awarded on 14 September 2026 to Thomas Armstrong (Construction) Ltd. The contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £200,000 excluding VAT and £240,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The process had one lot and one supplier; no competitive evaluation basis is recorded because the route was a direct award without competition. The contracting authority is North Yorkshire Council.

For a competitor, this award is evidence that North Yorkshire Council buys urgent bridge construction works through a direct, below-threshold route when a specific infrastructure need arises. A credible supplier for a similar requirement would need practical construction capability relevant to bridge works, the workforce and equipment to deliver urgent infrastructure activity, and the capacity to manage a focused work package through to completion. The awarded supplier is identified as an SME, showing that this type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller construction business rather than only by a major national contractor. Firms with demonstrable bridge-construction experience, suitable operational capacity and the ability to work for North Yorkshire Council would be well placed when assessing comparable requirements.
