Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, led by Durham County Council, concerned the awarding of a contract under the title "4 no 2 man pothole defects - Tender 1" for road-maintenance works in the North East of the United Kingdom. The process followed a selective procurement method as part of a call-off from a framework agreement, culminating in the award stage. The award was made active on 29th September 2025, with the contract period running through to 30th April 2026. The total value of the contract stood at £265,040.16, and the procurement was particularly favourable for SMEs. The buyer, Durham County Council, is located at County Hall, Durham, and can be reached through their contact point, Carol Jefferson.

This tender opens significant opportunities for businesses engaged in civil engineering and road maintenance, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their portfolio with local government projects. Enterprises in the road-maintenance industry that can efficiently engage in pothole repair stand well-suited to compete in such tenders, potentially leading to long-term relationships with local authorities and further call-off chances via existing framework agreements. The procurement strongly emphasised engaging SMEs, providing an accessible avenue for these businesses to achieve growth and increased market presence.
