Summary of the contracting process

Halton Borough Council is procuring highway surface treatment works across the Borough of Halton. The contract covers sprays, surface dressing, slurry sealing and micro-asphalt, used to maintain and improve highway assets and extend their service life. The appointed contractor will assess asset condition, select and design the most suitable treatment and materials for each location, and agree annual works programmes and preparatory activities with the Council’s Project Manager. The work involves preserving and extending the whole-life performance of roads through a partnership approach with the Council. It is a works contract for highway and road surfacing, including surface work for highways and roads. Requirements may be called off when needed rather than delivered through a fixed programme of pre-defined projects.

The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited offers through an open procedure. Bids must be submitted by 22 October 2026 at 3:00 pm, with submissions accepted electronically in English. The Council expects to complete its award decision by 15 February 2027. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with one discretionary 12-month extension to 31 March 2031. Its estimated value is £4.4 million excluding VAT, or £5.28 million including VAT. Quality accounts for 70% of the evaluation and price for 30%. The opportunity is a single lot. Suppliers must register on the Central Digital Platform and submit their core supplier information before bidding, then access the tender documents and submit through the Council’s e-tendering portal.

This opportunity suits highway maintenance and surfacing contractors able to deliver several surface treatment disciplines, including sprays, surface dressing, slurry sealing and micro-asphalt. Strong candidates will need practical expertise in assessing road asset condition, selecting and designing treatment solutions, specifying appropriate materials and planning preparatory works. The requirement also favours suppliers with the operational capacity to respond to works called off as required, manage annual programmes and coordinate closely with a council project manager. Experience of maintaining roads and extending whole-life asset performance is directly relevant. The selection process includes economic and technical requirements set out in the procurement documents, and the opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Quality is more important than price in evaluation, favouring demonstrable delivery capability and technical approach.
