Summary of the contracting process

NY Highways Limited, in partnership with North Yorkshire Council, is in the planning stage of a procurement process for establishing a framework agreement for Civil Engineering Coring and associated Laboratory Testing Services. The opportunity is focused on technical testing, analysis, and consultancy services within the industry category, with a regional focus in North East England (UKE2), specifically Northallerton. This pre-market engagement phase has a milestone deadline on 28th January 2026, inviting interested parties to participate in the initial consultation. The process is led from County Hall, Northallerton, and aims to progress to a framework agreement valued at approximately £2.24 million, with activities expected to commence in August 2026 and the framework spanning until July 2030.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in civil engineering, technical testing, and consultancy services to expand their market presence.

Engaging in this process facilitates potential growth through long-term partnerships with public sector entities and offers an invaluable avenue to showcase expertise and service quality in high-demand government projects.
