Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council procured highway construction works for the A639 route between Thwaites Gate and M1 Junction 44, in the Leeds area. The requirement falls within road and highway construction (CPV 45233130) and is intended to deliver works on this strategic road corridor. The procurement is a call-off from the Intermediate Works Contractor Framework, placing it within a wider programme of civil engineering and highway delivery. The named buying organisation is Leeds City Council. The stated delivery information includes Leeds, the United Kingdom and a postal address in Leeds. This is a major public works requirement rather than a supply-only or routine maintenance purchase, suited to contractors able to undertake substantial highway construction and associated site delivery responsibilities.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a direct award from the Intermediate Works Contractor Framework. The tender submission deadline was 29 August 2025 at 12 noon. Leeds City Council awarded the contract to Galliford Try Construction Limited on 20 August 2026 for £6,219,050.95 including the stated GBP currency. The awarded contract period runs from 8 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. The tender is classified as works and marked complete, while the award is active. The procurement records one awarded supplier and one contract requirement. It was not reserved for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award information identifies the selected contractor and the full awarded value.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates Leeds City Council’s demand for sizeable highway construction packages delivered through an established contractor framework and direct call-off route. A credible future competitor would need substantial civil engineering and highway construction capability, with the operational capacity to manage works on an important route linking Thwaites Gate with the M1 at Junction 44. The scale and nature of the requirement favour established contractors able to mobilise skilled site teams, plant, project management and supply-chain support for complex public highway works. The procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, so businesses considering comparable work would need the balance sheet, experience, systems and delivery resources expected of a large infrastructure contractor, either as a prime contractor or as a specialist supply-chain partner.
