Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council procured a highways works framework for planned carriageway maintenance within Nottingham City Council’s boundaries. The requirement covers construction and maintenance work on highways and roads, including elevated highways. The framework is intended for contractors able to deliver planned carriageway maintenance projects for the Council. It is a works opportunity managed by Nottingham City Council, with delivery taking place in Nottingham. The arrangement covers project briefs and orders issued during the framework, rather than one standalone maintenance scheme. It is relevant to highway contractors, road maintenance specialists, surfacing businesses and firms with the resources to undertake public carriageway works. The framework was designed to appoint three contractors, and the requirement was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded and signed. Nottingham City Council used an open procedure to establish a closed framework. The award was made on 16 June 2026 to Holcim UK Limited, Thomas Bow Limited and Robinson’s Paver Hire Limited. The award and contract value is £30,000,000 gross (£25,000,000 excluding VAT). The contract was signed on 14 July 2026 and runs from 20 July 2026 to 19 July 2030. Call-offs can be made by direct award using a basket of rates for projects below £300,000 that can be priced solely from the pricing schedule, or by further competition for other projects. Evaluation weighted price at 60%, quality at 35% and social value at 5%. Seven valid bids were received, including four from SMEs.

This award shows sustained demand from Nottingham City Council for planned carriageway maintenance delivered through a multi-supplier framework. A credible future competitor would need proven highway construction and maintenance capability, including the capacity to respond to project briefs and orders and to price work through an agreed schedule of rates. The successful supplier group includes large national materials and construction businesses alongside an SME, indicating that both scale and specialist local delivery models can be relevant. Strong performance would require reliable order acceptance, robust health and safety controls and evidence of managing notifiable accidents under RIDDOR. The framework also measures carbon generation and reduction, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate transparent, incremental reductions across orders and contracts. Quality and social value are material competitive factors alongside price.
