Summary of the contracting process

Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council commissioned highway carriageway surfacing works on 18 named roads in Blackburn. The scheme covers carriageway inlay resurfacing, reconstruction of speed tables and humps, adjustment or replacement of ironwork, new road markings and pedestrian delineation studs, and installation of traffic-signal detector loops. The contractor is also responsible for liaising with stakeholders and the public and providing traffic management. This is a road maintenance and resurfacing works contract (CPV 45233000), focused on renewing the local highway network. Delivery is in Blackburn, Lancashire, across roads including Accrington Road and Audley Road, Bay Street, Preston New Road and Tower Road.

The procurement is complete and was run as an open competition. Bids closed at noon on 30 January 2026, and the contract was awarded to Tarmac Trading Limited on 10 March 2026. The awarded value is £943,126.76. The contract period runs from 16 March to 16 May 2026. The published information describes one scheme rather than separate lots. Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council identified the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award information confirms the selected supplier and contract value; no evaluation weighting or scoring basis is stated in the available procurement details.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council, this award demonstrates demand for a coordinated package of local highway renewal rather than surfacing alone. A credible competitor would need the practical capability to deliver roadworks across multiple urban sites, manage traffic safely around live roads, and coordinate the associated highway activities and public-facing liaison. The scale points to a requirement for sufficient people, plant and delivery management to complete a substantial, multi-site scheme within a short programme. The council marked the work as suitable for SMEs, suggesting smaller firms may be relevant competitors where they can demonstrate the necessary delivery capacity, either directly or through suitable partners. The successful supplier was a large construction and materials business.
