Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured highway construction and resurfacing works for the A54 Macclesfield Main Road, known as the Cat and Fiddle scheme. The requirement covers construction, foundation and surface works for highways and roads (CPV 45233000). Delivery is in England, at the A54 route between Macclesfield and the Cat and Fiddle area. The procurement was run by Derbyshire County Council, based at County Hall in Matlock. It was a works requirement under the PLACE089 Non-Strategic Road Resurfacing framework, with the specific scheme competed through a mini competition. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while the successful supplier was a large organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini competition from the PLACE089 Non-Strategic Road Resurfacing framework. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026 at 9:00am. Derbyshire County Council awarded the contract to Tarmac Trading Limited on 20 August 2026. The awarded value is £661,450.89. The contract period runs from 22 September 2026 to 31 December 2027. The procurement used a framework mini-competition route for highway resurfacing works. The award covers the A54 Macclesfield Main Road, Cat and Fiddle scheme. One supplier is identified as receiving the award, and the tender status is complete.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for highway resurfacing and associated road construction from Derbyshire County Council, delivered through its non-strategic road resurfacing framework. Suppliers considering comparable future work with this buyer would need credible capability in road-scheme delivery, including highway construction, road foundations and surface works. The successful organisation was a large highways contractor, indicating the importance of sufficient operational capacity, plant, labour and project-management capability for a substantial route-based scheme. However, the procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, so smaller firms with relevant resurfacing expertise and the capacity to deliver framework-based highway works may also be well placed, either independently or through suitable delivery arrangements.
