MBC-1584 Culvert Works · UK public procurement notice
Authority: Melton Borough Council (Local council)·On behalf of: Rutland County Council
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Council would like to hear from providers who can support with the potential approach to works for the resolution of a potentially blocked culvert.
This requirement is of a particularly specialist nature due to this being under a live main line rail track.
The scope of the works is subject to change; potentially the scope may only be for preliminary works to take place. However if through the scoping process, it is identified the culvert has collapsed or requires work other than what has been identified in this scope i.e. collapse, then works will need to immediately cease and to be reviewed.
The Council is open to how this requirement may be delivered, and how providers may approach this work, especially given the potential risks and potential work required beyond the preliminaries.
Interested providers are invited to take part in the soft market testing exercise and respond to the questionnaire available on the ProContract procurement portal. The deadline for responses is 12 noon 5th September 2025.
