What is being bought

Nursery Bridge is a single span simply supported steel composite structure, which carries Atherleigh Way (A579), over Pennington Brook, in Leigh. The deck consists of a reinforced concrete deck slab, which is composite with 11 914x419x343 UB’s, spaced at 1.350m centres. The steel beams are supported on bearings and reinforced concrete plinths, on top of brick faced, reinforced concrete full height abutments. The bearings at the north end of the structure are rocker bearings which are to be replaced under this contract. Records suggest there is an existing United Utilities 160mm mains water supply pipe in the East verge and a 33kV electricity northwest cable in the west verge and northbound carriageway although this is noted to be out of commission. The reconstruction works briefly comprise: - Excavation to topsoil above abutment toe - Sequenced propping of the structure during overnight road closure - Hydro-demolition of existing bearing plinths - Re-casting of bearing plinths - Installation of new bearings - Installation of new asphaltic plug joint - Installation and removal of traffic management The Contractor to provide all necessary transport, tools, access equipment, appropriate welfare, water disposal and clearance on completion in order to carry out the works effectively. We require full risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) before commencement. The sites will be under control of CDM 2015.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Construction work (45000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 459,0624 median · 25.3 average (2,031 of 9,062 with a bid count)3.7 average (2,230 of 9,062 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
