Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council procured construction works for a new carriageway on Newport Drive. The requirement was called off from the CPU 5940 Planned Carriageway Maintenance – Highways Managed Framework, indicating a highways construction and carriageway maintenance requirement rather than a standalone general building project. The work is to be delivered in England for the council. The named scope is a new carriageway, so relevant businesses are those providing civil engineering, highway construction, road formation and associated carriageway works. The buying organisation is Nottingham City Council, based at Loxley House, Station Street, Nottingham. The procurement is categorised as works and uses the construction work classification (CPV 45000000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a call-off from the CPU 5940 Planned Carriageway Maintenance – Highways Managed Framework. The award was made on 24 July 2026 to Thomas Bow Ltd, an SME, for £40,498.33 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 27 July 2026 to 27 January 2027. The tender submission deadline was 20 July 2026 at 12:00. The procurement method is recorded as ‘Other’. The published requirement identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, and the awarded contract value matches the estimated tender value of £40,498.33.

This award demonstrates a defined demand from Nottingham City Council for small-scale highway construction delivered through its planned carriageway maintenance framework. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in new carriageway construction and related highway maintenance, with the workforce, equipment and project management arrangements to deliver civil engineering works safely and to the required standard. Businesses that can operate as SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises may be well placed for requirements of this type, since both categories were identified as suitable for participation. Experience of working through a managed highways framework and responding to call-off requirements would also be commercially relevant. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist contractor rather than only by a major national construction business.
