UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The North East Lincolnshire Borough Council is initiating a tender process for the renewal of its Highways Framework, covering the period from 2026 to 2030. This procurement process, currently in the planning stage, is classified under the industry category of construction work and aims to address capital works, minor civils, civil structural works, surface dressing, road marking, road signing, carriageway surfacing, and traffic management. The procurement framework includes a market engagement session scheduled for mid-February 2026, with responses due by 27th January 2026. The total project value is estimated at £55,000,000 and is expected to operate within the UK region of UKE13, specifically in Grimsby. The procurement process will adhere to the legal framework established by the 2023/54 UK regulation and is being facilitated through a framework agreement approach.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the construction and civil engineering sectors, particularly those specialising in highway and infrastructure work. Companies, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), stand to benefit from participating given the tailored lot structure designed to accommodate a range of project scopes and sizes. Engagement in this process can lead to business growth by securing contracts over the four-year duration, providing sustained work and the potential for building long-term relationships with the North East Lincolnshire Borough Council as a key client. Interested parties are encouraged to participate in the preliminary market engagement to gain insights and offer input on how the framework may be structured to maximise effective collaboration and mutual benefit.
