Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council procured construction works to resurface the Western Boulevard carriageway in England. The requirement was called off from the council’s planned carriageway maintenance highways managed framework, so it concerned a defined road-maintenance project rather than a general construction package. The main work category was construction work, covering the delivery of carriageway resurfacing. The buyer was Nottingham City Council, based at Loxley House, Station Street, Nottingham. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The appointed supplier was Thomas Bow Ltd, a Nottingham-based small business, indicating that the requirement was deliverable by a specialist local or regional highways contractor with the capability to undertake carriageway surfacing works.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a framework call-off under the planned carriageway maintenance highways managed framework. Bids had to be submitted by 17 August 2026 at 12:00. Nottingham City Council awarded the contract to Thomas Bow Ltd on 21 August 2026 for £256,975.91 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 24 February 2027. The procurement record describes the method as “Other” and classifies the requirement as works. The published outcome identifies one active award for the Western Boulevard carriageway resurfacing requirement. The available procurement information records the framework route and the completed award, but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or named evaluation criteria.

This award is commercially relevant to highways contractors, road surfacing specialists and civil engineering businesses able to deliver carriageway maintenance works for a local authority. The requirement demonstrates demand for a focused resurfacing project of moderate scale, delivered through a managed highways framework rather than a standalone open tender. A credible competitor for comparable work would need practical expertise in carriageway resurfacing, the plant, labour and site-management capacity to complete road works safely, and experience working to public-sector highways requirements. The opportunity was marked as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, and the successful supplier was an SME, showing that the buyer’s requirements can be met by a smaller specialist contractor. Framework access and strong delivery evidence would be commercially important when pursuing similar council maintenance requirements.
