Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk County Council, a public authority in sub-central government, has completed the contracting process for the maintenance, repair, and calibration of weighbridges at salt domes used for winter service operations. The contracting procedure was initiated as a tender under UK legislation, focusing on services related to weighbridge operations, classified under CPV code 63712500. The contract, valued at £60,000 excluding VAT, was active from 1 July 2025 until 31 March 2026. Blake & Boughton Limited, a regional SME based in Thetford, was awarded the contract to ensure the weighbridges are operational, particularly crucial during the winter months to prevent overloaded vehicles and to monitor salt stock levels.

This opportunity provides significant capacity for businesses specialising in weighbridge services or related infrastructure maintenance to establish profitable partnerships with local government entities. SMEs with expertise in equipment servicing, particularly in winter service operations, could find similar tenders advantageous to expand their market presence. Ensuring compliance with industry standards and offering efficient breakdown services during critical operational periods are key aspects that can enhance business growth and establish enduring relationships with public sector buyers such as Norfolk County Council.
