Summary of the contracting process

Via East Midlands Limited, a subsidiary of Nottinghamshire County Council, is spearheading a collaborative procurement initiative to launch the Surfacing Delivery Partnership. This contract falls under the open procedure method, targeting the construction sector—specifically highway and road works—and is centred in the United Kingdom, particularly the East Midlands. The procurement process has reached the award stage with key dates being the signing on 1st April 2026 and a completion date of 31st March 2029, with potential extensions up to 2031. The total contract value is approximately £75 million, grossing around £90 million, and the framework aims to enhance highway surfacing services with a dual supply partnership for three-year terms, possibly extending by two one-year increments. The initiative prioritises efficiency, quality, and sustainable practices, promoting a low-carbon circular economy while delivering vital services within Nottinghamshire.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses capable of delivering technical excellence in highway surfacing operations, including carriageway resurfacing and reconstruction. Companies that can demonstrate proficiency in utilising innovative materials and processes can expect substantial growth potential, as the tender supports Early Contractor Involvement and strategic collaboration. Large enterprises like Tarmac Trading Limited and SMEs like Robinson's Paver Hire Limited have been awarded contracts, indicating that businesses of all scales can thrive under this framework. With emphasis on improving regional economic growth, social value, and environmental outcomes, firms able to engage in these areas contribute directly to the broader goals of Via East Midlands, enhancing their business profile and creating pathways for future procurement success.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Surfacing Delivery Partnership

Notice Description

Via East Midlands delivers sustainable highways services across the East Midlands and operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Nottinghamshire County Council. Via East Midlands holds several existing framework agreements for highway surfacing, surface treatments, and civil engineering delivery, which are nearing completion. The scope of these contracts involves high-profile aspects of highway service delivery that are of considerable public importance and are vital to delivering for the people of Nottinghamshire. Via East Midlands plans to establish a new supplier contract for highway surfacing schemes with two suppliers, as part of a new Highway Surfacing Delivery Partnership Contract. The new contract will include three-year agreements with two possible one-year extensions, following an NEC4 Term Services arrangement. Via East Midlands is seeking to collaborate with two highway surfacing contractors that are suitable for delivering technical excellence, efficiency, and cooperative behaviours across carriageway resurfacing, reconstruction, recycling, ironwork adjustment, and related work, including road marking and road studs. The new Surfacing Delivery Partnership Contract will encourage a more strategic and collaborative approach to highway service delivery and value for money. This strategy will promote increased joint engagement, support Early Contractor Involvement, and enable a low-carbon circular economy operating model. The new contract will require contractors to possess the technical capability and local capacity to consistently improve quality and safety standards across all highway surfacing disciplines. The new contract will feature a performance management framework that incentivises and rewards a one-team approach and excellent highway service delivery by linking work scope share and potential contract extensions. Via East Midlands aims to collaborate with Surfacing Delivery Partnership Partners willing to invest in our area to foster regional economic growth. The contractors we select will utilise innovative materials, products, processes, and technologies to help Via East Midlands achieve regional economic development, social value, and environmental objectives.
