Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council procured a planned carriageway maintenance framework for highway and road construction and maintenance within Nottingham City Council’s administrative boundaries. The work covers planned repairs and maintenance to carriageways, including projects delivered through individual orders or briefs. The council is the buyer and the requirement is categorised as public highway works, including highway maintenance. The framework is intended for suitably experienced and qualified contractors able to undertake carriageway maintenance projects in Nottingham. It is structured for multiple contractors, allowing the council to place work through direct awards based on a basket of rates or through further competition. The relevant supply market includes highway maintenance contractors, road surfacing businesses, civil engineering contractors and firms with suitable construction delivery capacity.

The procurement has been awarded and contracts have been signed. It used an open procedure under the Procurement Act 2023, with one lot and a framework arrangement. The framework’s estimated value is £25,000,000 excluding VAT and £30,000,000 including VAT. Three contractors were appointed under one award: Holcim UK Limited, Thomas Bow Limited and Robinson’s Paver Hire Limited. A second active award names Holcim UK Limited and Thomas Bow Limited. The first contract was signed on 14 July 2026 and runs from 20 July 2026 to 19 July 2030; the second was signed on 2 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 September 2030. Call-offs below £300,000 may use direct awards by basket of rates; other projects use further competition. Evaluation weighted price 60%, quality 35% and social value 5%.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from Nottingham City Council for planned carriageway maintenance delivered through a multi-supplier framework. A credible future competitor would need proven highway, road construction or road surfacing capability, suitably experienced staff and the operational capacity to accept project briefs and orders throughout the framework’s operation. The successful field included large national materials and infrastructure businesses alongside smaller regional contractors, showing that both scale and specialist local delivery capability can be relevant. Suppliers would need to compete on pricing through a clear schedule of rates, while also evidencing strong technical quality and social value. Robust health and safety management is important, including control and reporting of RIDDOR incidents. The buyer also measures carbon generation and reduction, so contractors should be able to demonstrate transparent, incremental reductions across delivered orders and contracts.
