Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured phase 2 of the Kedleston Road carriageway resurfacing project, as part of its 2026/27 capital programme. The requirement is construction work delivered in the United Kingdom, with the named project location being Kedleston Road in Derby. In practical terms, the work concerns resurfacing a section of public highway rather than general road maintenance or consultancy. Derby City Council is the buying organisation. The procurement is categorised as services in the available classification, although the stated subject matter is carriageway resurfacing and the associated construction activity. The selected supplier, Thomas Bow Limited, is based in Nottingham and is recorded as a large organisation. The requirement therefore provides a clear example of the council’s demand for specialist highway surfacing delivery within its capital works programme.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 5 July 2026 to Thomas Bow Limited. It used a direct award via a framework rather than an open competition. The estimated procurement value and awarded value were both £143,000, in GBP. The tender submission deadline was 4 July 2026. The awarded contract period runs from 6 July 2026 to 11 July 2026. The available outcome records one active award to the named supplier. The process was not divided into separately reported lots. The published suitability assessment records the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award route indicates that access to the relevant framework was central to participation; the available details do not state a separate price-quality weighting or other evaluation formula.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for public highway carriageway resurfacing from Derby City Council, delivered through a framework direct-award route. A supplier seeking to compete for comparable work would need established capability in road surfacing and the operational capacity to mobilise and complete a short, concentrated highway works programme. Experience of working on public roads and delivering capital maintenance schemes would help demonstrate credibility, although the available requirements do not identify particular qualifications, accreditations or technical standards. The recorded outcome suggests that the council placed the work with a large contractor, so comparable suppliers would need sufficient workforce, plant, materials management and project control for council-led carriageway works. Framework membership or an equivalent route to appointment would also be commercially important for accessing this type of requirement.
