UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bracknell Forest Borough Council, in collaboration with Wokingham Borough Council, is planning a public procurement process for Highways Maintenance and Works. The project involves using a contractor for upkeep and works on highways the councils oversee within their respective boroughs, located in the South East of England (UKJ11). This procurement falls under the "works" category, specifically targeting construction work for highways and roads. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with an estimated contract value of GBP 140 million. Future notices are expected on 1st July 2028, with the contract period planned to commence on 1st April 2030 and run until 31st March 2037. Market consultation is scheduled for 2027 to help the councils decide whether to proceed with a joint contract or two separate contracts.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses in the construction and infrastructure sectors, particularly those experienced in highway maintenance and roadworks. Given the significant contract value and scope, both large-scale contractors and consortiums may find this project appealing. The councils’ consideration of both single and joint contract options could further broaden the competitive landscape, making it attractive for diverse business types, from regional firms to multinational corporations with capabilities in public sector infrastructure operations. Companies interested in expanding their geographical footprint within the UK or enhancing their portfolio of large-scale public infrastructure projects would find this contract particularly beneficial for business growth.
