Summary of the contracting process

South Gloucestershire Council has completed the tender process for the "Surfacing and Supply of Quarried Materials 2025" contract, aimed at supporting infrastructure projects in South Gloucestershire and the West of England Combined Mayoral Authority. The scheme, with a gross value of £100.8 million, followed an open procurement method. The final award has been made to Tarmac Trading Limited, with the contract officially set to commence on 1st August 2026, running until 31st July 2031, with a possible extension to 31st July 2033. This initiative forms part of the broader scope under the Capital Programme to enhance highways and road construction, alongside a standstill period concluding on 20th July 2026.

This contract presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for firms experienced in the supply and laying of surfacing materials and provision of quarried materials for large-scale infrastructure projects. Large enterprises like Tarmac Trading, successful in securing the award, highlight the competitive landscape but also the lucrative possibilities for businesses meeting the Council’s technical and financial proficiency requirements. Companies well-versed in road-construction materials and aware of the demand for engineering works within the region will find significant avenues for expanding their portfolios and gaining substantial projects under this comprehensive service contract.

Planning Information

South Gloucestershire Council (SGC) is conducting a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise in relation to its procurement of Surfacing and Supply of Quarried Materials to assist it in developing its requirements and approach. This engagement is conducted in accordance with Section 16 of the Procurement Act 2023, which permits contracting authorities to engage with the market prior to commencing a procurement procedure. The purpose of this PME is to: • Understand market capacity and interest. • Check and develop procurement requirements. • Help design procedures, participation conditions and award criteria. • Identify any potential barriers to participation. SGC is sharing draft Invitation to Tender (ITT) documentation and seeking feedback from the market on the information contained therein. Participation in this PME is voluntary, but SGC encourages any organisation or group of organisations interested in bidding for this contract to respond to the questions contained within it's 'Preliminary Market Engagement Questionnaire'. Your feedback is valuable in helping us shape a fair, transparent and effective procurement process. SGC are still finalising their approach and documentation. The responses to its PME Questionnaire will be fed into this process and the finished tender documents are anticipated to be issued shortly after the engagement deadline.
