Summary of the contracting process

Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council procured highway resurfacing and associated road works across sites in Edgworth, Chapeltown and Darwen. The scheme covered carriageway inlay resurfacing and large-area patching, reconstruction of speed tables and humps, adjustment or replacement of ironwork, and replacement of road markings. The contractor was also responsible for liaising with stakeholders and the public and providing traffic management. The work was delivered on named roads and at bridge locations including Blackburn Road, Green Arms Road, Harbour Lane, Lynwood Avenue, Sudell Road, Progress Street, Roman Road and Tockholes Road.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Tarmac Trading Limited. The award was made on 10 March 2026 for £273,949.02. The contract period ran from 30 March to 10 May 2026. The tender deadline was 12 February 2026. The work was procured as a works contract; the stated procurement method was “Other”. The procurement data does not set out an evaluation basis or separate lots. Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council was the buyer. The award is recorded as active.

For this buyer’s highway resurfacing requirement, a credible competitor would need to deliver carriageway inlay resurfacing and extensive patching, alongside speed-table and hump reconstruction, ironwork adjustments or replacement, and road-marking renewal. The scope also calls for coordinating with stakeholders and the public and managing traffic around works at multiple road and bridge sites. This award shows demand for a contractor able to combine surfacing and associated highway works within one scheme, rather than supplying surfacing alone. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable, so businesses of that size could be relevant if they can demonstrate the necessary delivery capacity and range of highway capabilities.
