Summary of the contracting process

Worcestershire County Council procured an infrastructure engineering term contract for construction and maintenance of new and existing major highway infrastructure. The work covers highway, road foundation and surface construction, together with maintenance activity across the council’s area in Worcestershire. It is a works requirement for a contractor able to deliver major highway infrastructure through a term arrangement, rather than a single standalone project. The council is the public-sector buyer and contract manager. The scope is relevant to civil engineering contractors, highway construction firms and infrastructure maintenance businesses with the resources to undertake both new works and repairs or upkeep to existing roads. The procurement forms one overall lot and concerns the council’s continuing highway infrastructure requirements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded by direct award to ALUN GRIFFITHS (CONTRACTORS) LIMITED on 23 July 2025. The award value is £33,333,333 excluding VAT, or £40,000,000 including VAT. The award period was 4 August 2025 to 3 February 2027; the contract was signed on 14 August 2025 and its active period runs from 14 August 2025 to 13 February 2027. One lot was awarded, with no competitive evaluation criteria published because the route was a direct award. The contract is above the relevant threshold. Performance measures cover quality assurance audits, contractor culture and behaviour, and response times. For the first reported performance year, these were recorded as 100%, 89% and 91% respectively, each meeting the stated KPI.

This award demonstrates established demand from Worcestershire County Council for a large-scale highway infrastructure contractor capable of combining construction and maintenance across new and existing roads. A credible future competitor would need substantial civil engineering and highway delivery capacity, including road foundations, surfacing and associated infrastructure works. The incumbent’s scale indicates that suppliers should be able to manage a term contract rather than isolated small jobs, coordinate delivery with council users and respond reliably to instructions and contractual requirements. Strong quality assurance systems will be important: the contract measures right-first-time delivery through audits, as well as compliance with NEC4 ECC clauses 10.1 and 10.2. Evidence of consistently timely responses, effective collaboration, compliant contract administration and positive user feedback would strengthen a competitor’s position.
