Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a closed framework for highway maintenance resources and highways engineering services in Leicestershire. The requirement is for suitably trained and experienced highway maintenance operatives, supplied with vehicles and equipment, to supplement the Council’s directly employed workforce on an ad hoc basis. Teams work under the Council’s employees’ direct instruction and supervision. The framework covers resources provided through a selection procedure or quotation procedure, including highway maintenance activities and related engineering support. The Council is the buying organisation, with delivery in Leicestershire. The opportunity is classified under CPV 71311220, highways engineering services, and is a services procurement. It was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract was signed on 29 July 2026. CF Construction (Collingham) Limited and All Roads Asphalt Solutions Ltd were appointed to the framework on 14 July 2026. The award and contract value is £12,000,000 excluding VAT (£14,400,000 including VAT). The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028, with possible extensions to 31 July 2030, subject to suppliers meeting minimum KPI scores. It used an above-threshold open procedure and a closed framework for up to five participants, with and without reopening competition. The tender closed on 3 July 2026, following an enquiry deadline of 19 June 2026. Evaluation weighted price at 90% and quality at 10%.

This award indicates recurring demand from Leicestershire County Council for responsive highway maintenance labour supplied with suitable vehicles and equipment. A credible future competitor would need suitably trained and experienced highway maintenance operatives, the operational capacity to provide teams on an ad hoc basis, and the vehicles and equipment needed for highway works. Suppliers must be able to work under the Council’s direct instruction and supervision and respond through either framework selection or quotation processes. The appointed suppliers were small and medium-sized enterprises, showing that the requirement can be delivered by businesses of that scale. Strong performance management will be important, including compliance with mandatory and quality requirements, reliable attendance, operative capability, safety and complaint handling. The pricing model also rewards disciplined price-list and quotation management.
