Summary of the contracting process

East Staffordshire Borough Council procured bituminous surface repair works for car parks and footpaths. The work covers the supply and application of bitumen and asphalt, including surface repairs to pedestrian footways. It is a construction and civil engineering requirement rather than a general maintenance or consultancy service. The council is based in Burton upon Trent, and the works are for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement was structured as a single package and is intended for a suitably qualified and experienced contractor able to carry out surface repair works across the council’s relevant car parks and footpaths. The procurement is relevant to asphalt contractors, highways and paving businesses, and civil engineering firms with practical experience of public-realm surfacing and repair.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold open competition. The single lot had an estimated value of £112,500 excluding VAT (£135,000 including VAT). Bids were assessed on 60% price, using the Tender Price Schedule, and 40% quality, using method statements 1–3. The contract was signed on 15 July 2026 with PM Harris, which was selected as supplier. The contract period runs from 16 July 2026 to 1 March 2029. The original tender response deadline was 19 January 2026 at 12:00, and the enquiry deadline was 12 January 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was not allowed. The contract is below the applicable threshold.

For competing contractors, this award provides a clear indication of East Staffordshire Borough Council’s demand for planned bituminous repairs to car parks and footpaths, delivered through a straightforward below-threshold open competition. A credible future supplier would need practical capability in asphalt and bitumen surfacing, footway repairs and associated public-realm works, together with experience of managing repair activities for a public-sector client. The evaluation shows that price is important but does not determine the result alone: method statements and the quality of the proposed approach carry substantial weight. Businesses should therefore be able to produce clear, well-structured method statements alongside a competitive price schedule. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to capable specialist surfacing firms as well as larger civil engineering contractors.
