Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process was conducted by Durham County Council for the "Derwentside Defects" project, which addresses potholes on the highway. The project is categorised under highway maintenance work and took place in the North East region of the United Kingdom. The process, under a call-off from a framework agreement method, has been completed. Key dates include the tender period ending on 16th May 2025, and the contract period running from 19th May to 30th June 2025. The overall contract value amounted to £24,816.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in construction and maintenance services to engage with public sector contracts and expand their business. Although Pinkney Building Contractors Ltd was the supplier awarded this contract, it highlights the potential for similar enterprises in the highway maintenance industry to bid for framework agreements managed by local councils such as Durham County Council. Such contracts offer a pathway for SMEs to secure public sector work and strengthen their market presence.
