## Summary

Hull City Council, acting for the Humber Bridge Board, commissioned consultancy services for a principal inspection of the Hessle Anchorage at the Humber Bridge in Kingston upon Hull. The work is bridge-inspection services, focused on assessing the anchorage, a structural component of the bridge. The procurement was placed through Hull City Council’s ERPS framework, under its complex bridges category. The named buyer is Hull City Council; the Humber Bridge Board is the organisation for which it acted. The requirement concerns specialist engineering consultancy rather than construction works or the supply of goods.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to AtkinsRéalis UK Limited. The award was made on 5 October 2026, and the contract was signed on 2 October 2026. The contract runs from 5 October 2026 to 5 April 2027. Its value is £16,969 excluding VAT (£20,363 including VAT). The route was a below-threshold purchase described as being without competition, using a mini-competition through the ERPS framework’s complex bridges category. The process covered one lot. No separate evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement details.

This award shows demand from Hull City Council, acting for the Humber Bridge Board, for specialist consultancy to inspect a complex bridge structure, specifically the Hessle Anchorage. Suppliers seeking similar work would need credible bridge-inspection and structural engineering expertise, with the capability to undertake a principal inspection of a major bridge component. Experience delivering technically demanding inspections for bridge owners or public-sector clients would be relevant. The requirement was routed through an established framework category for complex bridges, so framework access and the ability to compete through that route are commercially important. The selected supplier is a large consultancy, indicating that the buyer engaged an established provider for this assignment; suppliers should be able to demonstrate sufficient technical resource and quality assurance for specialist infrastructure inspection.
