Summary of the contracting process

Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council commissioned highway consultancy services through a Highway Improvement Team role for an NEC4 Works Supervisor. The requirement covers supervision of highway improvement works, supporting the council’s delivery and oversight of highway projects. The work is delivered in England. It is a professional services opportunity rather than construction delivery itself, so relevant businesses are those providing infrastructure, highways or civil engineering consultancy and site-based works supervision. The named requirement focuses on NEC4 Works Supervisor services, making it particularly relevant to firms that can provide suitably experienced personnel to oversee highway improvement activity on behalf of a local authority.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council awarded the contract to Matchtech Group (UK) Limited on 3 August 2026. The awarded value is £175,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 4 August 2026 to 31 March 2028. The tender submission deadline was 15 July 2026. It was a services procurement using an ‘Other’ procedure, with the tender marked complete. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The contract covers one overall requirement for highway improvement works supervision, rather than separately reported lots or multiple awarded suppliers.

This award demonstrates a defined local-authority demand for specialist supervision of highway improvement works, delivered through an NEC4 Works Supervisor role. Businesses best placed for a future requirement of this type would be highways, civil engineering or infrastructure consultancies able to provide experienced supervisors and manage site oversight for public-sector improvement schemes. Credibility would come from demonstrable experience supervising highway works, understanding NEC4 contract arrangements and coordinating effectively with a council, contractors and project stakeholders. The opportunity is explicitly suitable for SMEs, so a smaller specialist consultancy with the right technical capability and personnel could compete alongside larger engineering and recruitment or technical-services providers.
