Summary of the contracting process

Halton Borough Council is seeking a contractor for highway surface treatments across the Borough of Halton. The works cover sprays, surface dressing, slurry surfacing and micro asphalt, to maintain and improve the Council’s highway assets. The contractor will assess asset condition and work with the Council’s project manager to select appropriate treatments and materials for each location, agree annual works programmes and carry out preparatory works. The purpose is to preserve and extend the life of the borough’s roads. This is highway surface treatment and road-surfacing work (CPV 45233210). The requirement is arranged as one lot because the Council expects work to be called off as needs arise, rather than following a fixed programme.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The submission deadline is 4 November 2026 at 15:00 UTC; the stated award decision date is 15 February 2027. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with a discretionary 12-month extension to 31 March 2031. The estimated value is £4.4 million excluding VAT (£5.28 million including VAT). Quality carries 70% of the evaluation weighting and price 30%. The buyer amended and republished the Procurement Specific Questionnaire and Bill of Quantities, and set the revised submission deadline above. Electronic submission is allowed, and bids must be in English. Suppliers must register on the Central Digital Platform and submit core supplier information before bidding.

This requirement is suited to highway maintenance and surfacing contractors with the technical expertise to assess road condition and select suitable treatment methods and materials for different assets and locations. Suppliers need to be able to work collaboratively with a council project manager, develop and agree annual programmes, undertake preparatory works and deliver surface treatments in response to changing call-off requirements. The work calls for capability across spray treatments, surface dressing, slurry surfacing and micro asphalt, alongside the judgement to choose an appropriate approach for each site. The Council indicates that the opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Economic and technical selection requirements apply; the Council directs bidders to the procurement documents for their detailed criteria.
