Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hillingdon bought a highways term service covering capital improvement schemes and routine and reactive highway works across the borough. Capital work includes road-safety, congestion and parking schemes, Transport for London-funded local projects, externally funded highway works and council off-highway works such as housing repairs. Routine services include cyclical drain and gully cleansing and planned ditch clearing. Reactive work includes pothole repairs, footway defects and street furniture maintenance, as well as installing domestic and heavy-vehicle crossovers. The scope includes road and footway construction, resurfacing, paving, drainage and traffic-calming works, alongside gully-cleaning services. Delivery is in the London Borough of Hillingdon.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to O’Hara Bros. Surfacing Limited. The award date was 1 May 2026; the contract was signed on 1 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2033, with an option to extend by five years, subject to a full service and commercial review; the maximum period ends on 30 June 2038. The awarded gross value is £127,886,400. The council used an open procedure, with one lot suitable for SMEs. Evaluation weighted price at 40%, quality at 40% and social value at 20%. Four valid bids were received, three from SMEs. The tender’s enquiry deadline was 23 January 2026 and its submission deadline was 30 January 2026.

For suppliers who did not win, this award demonstrates substantial, long-term demand from Hillingdon for an integrated highways contractor able to deliver both planned capital schemes and day-to-day maintenance. A credible competitor would need capacity across road and footway repairs, resurfacing, drainage and gully cleansing, traffic management-related improvements, street furniture and vehicle crossovers, with the ability to respond to reactive defects as well as complete programmed work. The delivery model also needs to accommodate externally funded and Transport for London-funded projects, alongside council schemes and off-highway repairs. The evaluation placed equal weight on price and quality, with a further social-value element, so a competitive offer must combine cost control and demonstrable delivery quality with relevant social outcomes. The contract’s recurring performance measures include health and safety, quality and environmental management, capital programme adherence and completion of cyclical works.
