The procurement, categorised under 'works', involved removing the old surface, resurfacing, and re-lining various sections of the Newnham Street car park. Using an open competition method below the threshold, the contract attracted significant interest with 13 bids submitted, all of which were from small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The awarded supplier is EC SURFACING LTD, based in Hull, with the contract period commencing on 18th February 2026 and ending on 13th March 2026.

With a significant proportion of the evaluation based on price (70%) against quality (30%), businesses emphasising cost-effectiveness alongside qualitative evidence of capability hold a competitive edge. The engagement underlines opportunities for regional SMEs to expand their foothold in public sector projects, fostering business growth while contributing to community infrastructure improvements.

Weightings associated with each of the criteria can be found in Appendix Two (Award Criteria), alongside any minimum score requirements for each question. Where these apply, bidders will be discounted from consideration for award if they do not achieve the minimum score required on any question. For the avoidance of doubt the following weightings are applied to this procurement: * Quality: 30% * Price: 70%"
