Summary of the contracting process

Manchester City Council is facilitating the procurement process for the TC056 - Highways Support Framework, aimed at augmenting its Highways Maintenance Service with Minor Civil Engineering works. This procurement initiative falls under the civil engineering industry category, specifically targeting engineering construction works. The framework covers the 33 wards within Manchester, UKD3 region. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, with the contract valued at £20 million, already signed on 9th June 2025. This framework agreement employs an open procedure, allowing for direct awards based on price and availability criteria and may also include further competition among framework suppliers if the direct award is not feasible. The contract is set to commence on 16th June 2025, with submissions requiring an electronic process via the Chest portal by 11 am on 7th March 2025.

The TC056 - Highways Support Framework presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in civil construction and engineering, specifically those specialising in highway maintenance and minor civil engineering works such as kerbing, signing, and lining. With the Council reserving the right not to award the framework, businesses that proactively contribute to the economic and social regeneration of Manchester and adhere to social and environmental considerations are likely to be favoured. The procurement process, designed to enhance agility in awarding contracts, allows small to medium-sized enterprises, such as Argyle North West Construction Limited, Dowhigh Ltd, J Hopkins (Contractors) Limited, and Rosgal Limited, to compete effectively. Successful bidders are expected to help accelerate the delivery of crucial infrastructure projects, thereby boosting their service offerings and regional impact.

    "description": "The Council is using the e-business portal known as the Chest. Applicants will need to register their details at the following link www.the-chest.org.uk . Once registered, applicants will be emailed a log-in and password which will allow them to gain access to the documentation relating to this opportunity. Applicants will need to electronically submit their completed tender documents, including online questionnaire, via the on-line portal by 11am on 7th March 2025 as referred to in IV.2.2. Any clarification queries must also be submitted via the Chest website by the date referred to in the tender documentation. The framework period will be for 2 years with option to extend for an additional 2 years. It is intended for the framework to commence 16th June 2025. This framework will allow for: Direct award without re-opening competition. Direct Award of each Works Package Order will be made on the basis of Price and Availability. The Pricing Schedule submitted at the tender stage will be used to price the works required. Each Works Package Order will be priced by applying quantities against the items pertaining to the works into the Pricing Schedule to determine the lowest. The lowest-priced holder will be asked to confirm their availability to carry out the works. If the lowest-priced holder is not available, the same process will be carried out with the next lowest. This will continue until a suitable award is made. Further Competition Further competitions will be used where the Council cannot make a direct award determination and in a further competition all Framework Suppliers capable of providing the Services will be invited to tender. The successful supplier will be required to actively participate in the economic and social regeneration of the locality of, and surroundings of, the place of delivery of the contract. Therefore, selection and award criteria, specification requirements and contract performance conditions may relate in particular to social and environmental considerations as relevant to the subject matter of this project.
