Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council is procuring highway surface dressing and associated works across Derbyshire’s rural and urban road network. The requirement covers pre-treatment and preparation, masking ironwork, supplying and managing chippings, applying surface dressing and seal coats, lockchipping, sweeping and rectifying defects. The contractor must provide all labour, plant, materials, equipment, supervision and related services needed to deliver the programme across different highway classifications. The work is classified as highway, road and surface construction works (CPV 45233000). Delivery is throughout Derbyshire, for the Council’s county-wide road network. The contract is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and is intended for a suitably qualified and experienced highways contractor able to deliver both the core surface dressing operation and its ancillary activities.

The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited offers through an open procedure. It is a single-lot contract, with bids submitted electronically in English. Questions were due by 25 September 2026 at 11:00, and tender submissions by 9 October 2026 at 11:00. The evaluation decision was scheduled for 27 October 2026. The initial contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2027, with options for up to three further 12-month extensions, taking the maximum end date to 30 November 2030. The estimated value is £40,000,000 excluding VAT, or £48,000,000 including VAT. Evaluation is based on price at 70%, technical quality at 20% and social value at 10%. Economic and technical selection requirements follow the Invitation to Tender documentation.

This opportunity suits contractors with established highways surface dressing capability and the resources to provide labour, plant, materials, equipment and supervision for a county-wide programme. Relevant delivery experience includes pre-treatment preparation, ironwork masking, chipping supply and management, surface dressing, seal coats, lockchipping, sweeping and defect rectification across rural and urban roads and different highway classifications. Suppliers must be able to work to the Specification for Highway Works, NHSS 13 and the RSTA/ADEPT Code of Practice for Surface Dressing. The requirement therefore favours organisations with the appropriate technical competence, qualified personnel, operational capacity and quality systems for highway maintenance works. Businesses able to demonstrate both reliable large-scale delivery and meaningful social value commitments should be well placed against the stated evaluation approach.
