Summary of the contracting process

Wirral Council is actively seeking suppliers for its Highways Maintenance Works project, specifically targeting surface dressing and resurfacing tasks, under an open procedure. The procurement process involves two lots: Lot 1 for Surface Dressing & Micro Carriageway Surfacing, and Lot 2 for Structural Carriageway Resurfacing. Located in Wallasey, region UKD74, United Kingdom, the project is valued at approximately £29.4 million. The tender phase concludes on 2nd September 2025, and the anticipated contract commencement date is set for 1st December 2025, with a duration of three years until 1st December 2028. Key dates include the enquiry period ending on 26th August 2025 and the award decision by 9th October 2025. The industry category is predominantly focused on works related to highway and road surfacing.

This contract provides a significant opportunity for businesses in the highway construction and maintenance sector. Companies specialising in asphalt and road-solving solutions are particularly suited to this tender, with separate lots allowing for a targeted approach to surface dressing and structural surfacing tasks. Single suppliers will be awarded each lot, offering an opportunity for SMEs to compete effectively. The criteria weightage prioritises quality, price, and social value, presenting a comprehensive chance for suppliers to showcase their capabilities and commitment to sustainable practices. Businesses with experience in traffic and pedestrian management, and those adept in both conventional and specialist materials, stand to benefit from this procurement opportunity.
