Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council commissioned highway carriageway resurfacing in Blackburn and Darwen. The scheme covered A666 Bolton Road (Infirmary Road), Addington Street, Audley Street, Pendle Street, Borough Road, Branch Road in Lower Darwen, and two sections of Roman Road at Blackamoor and Flash Corner. The work comprised inlay resurfacing, adjustment or replacement of ironwork, replacement of road markings, traffic management, and liaison with stakeholders and the public. This is highway construction and road-surface work (CPV 45233000), rather than a general road maintenance or design service. Delivery locations are the named roads in Blackburn, Darwen and Lower Darwen.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Tarmac Trading Limited. Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council selected the supplier on 19 May 2026. The awarded contract value was £323,567.68. The contract period ran from 1 June to 5 July 2026. The tender deadline was 23 April 2026 at 12:00. The process used a method described as “Other”; the published information does not set out an evaluation basis or separate lots. The work was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and unsuitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement was for works, with one stated overall scheme covering the listed highways.

This award demonstrates demand from Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council for a coordinated package of local highway resurfacing, including carriageway inlay, ironwork adjustments or replacement, road markings, traffic management and public and stakeholder liaison. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to deliver surfacing across multiple urban road locations and manage the associated highway works as an integrated scheme. Relevant capability includes planning and operating traffic management around works, coordinating with affected stakeholders and the public, and completing ironwork and marking tasks alongside resurfacing. The buyer marked the scheme as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller contractors may be relevant competitors, provided they can meet the operational scope. The selected supplier was a large company, showing that a larger contractor was also capable of delivering the requirement. A supplier focused only on surfacing, without the linked activities, may be less well placed.»
