Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council procured carriageway resurfacing works on Melbourne Road and Hilcot Drive, within its highways maintenance programme. The requirement covers construction work to resurface these roads and was called off from the council’s planned carriageway maintenance framework. Delivery is in England, for the council’s local highway network. The named buyer is Nottingham City Council, based at Loxley House in Nottingham. The selected supplier, Thomas Bow Ltd, is a Nottingham-based small business. This opportunity is relevant to civil engineering contractors, highways maintenance firms and road surfacing specialists able to deliver planned carriageway renewal for a local authority. It may also interest subcontractors or specialist roadworks businesses supporting larger highways contractors on resurfacing schemes.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Thomas Bow Ltd on 12 June 2026. It used a call-off from the CPU 5940 Planned Carriageway Maintenance – Highways Managed Framework rather than a standalone open tender. The contract value is £165,601.60 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 15 June 2026 to 15 December 2026. The tender submission deadline was 8 June 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was classified as works and identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. One supplier is recorded as receiving the award. The contract covers the Melbourne Road and Hilcot Drive resurfacing requirement described in the tender.

This award demonstrates established local-authority demand for targeted carriageway resurfacing delivered through a planned highways maintenance framework. A competitor seeking similar work from Nottingham City Council would need practical road surfacing and civil engineering capability, with the resources to plan and deliver works on live local highway assets. Credibility would come from relevant carriageway maintenance experience, competent site supervision, traffic and public-interface management, and the ability to coordinate materials, plant, labour and quality control across a defined roadworks project. The procurement was suitable for SMEs and was won by an SME, indicating that a smaller highways contractor can be competitive for work of this scale when it has the required delivery capacity and access to the relevant framework route.
