Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council has completed a procurement process for the project titled "Darlington BC, C34a Lime Lane (Phase 2), Darlington - Carriageway Patching" under a highways surfacing framework. The main industry category involved is the works for surface work on highways, specifically within the Darlington area (region UKC13). This tender reached the award stage, with the contract awarded on 8th January 2026, and the work period set from 2nd February to 31st March 2026. The project followed a selective procurement method, being below the threshold and awarded under a framework, indicating a competitive environment within specific limitations for suppliers who are part of the existing framework agreements.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for SMEs in the construction and road maintenance sectors. LANE RENTAL SERVICES LIMITED, a small to medium enterprise (SME) based in Pocklington York, successfully secured this contract, underscoring the potential for similarly structured businesses to participate and benefit from such selective frameworks. Companies with experience in highway surface work, especially those that can efficiently operate within regional frameworks, would find such opportunities highly advantageous for business growth, leveraging existing competitive procurement processes tailored for sub-central government public authorities.
