Summary of the contracting process

Blackburn With Darwen Borough Council established a framework for highway construction and maintenance works across Blackburn with Darwen. The requirement is divided into four areas: carriageway surfacing, highway civil engineering, cold milling and repairs to asphalt surfaces. Work covers construction, foundation and surface activities for roads and highways, including resurfacing and associated civil works. The delivery location is Blackburn and Darwen. The council is the buying organisation and the framework is intended for contractors able to undertake road-related works through one or more of the four areas. Suppliers could bid for, and potentially be appointed to, any number of areas. This is a works opportunity rather than a supply or consultancy contract.

The procurement is complete and awards were made on 1 September 2026, subject to the standstill period ending on 14 September 2026; contract signature was scheduled for 21 September 2026. The open procedure used a closed framework. Each area has a two-year contract period from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with two optional 12-month extensions to 30 September 2030. The awarded values are: Surfacing, £20m net (£24m gross), awarded to Holcim UK, Multipave (NW) and DSD Construction; Civils, £20m net (£24m gross), awarded to NMS Civil Engineering, Multipave (NW) and George Cox & Sons; Cold Milling, £5m net (£6m gross), awarded to NMS Civil Engineering and D.P. Cold Planing; and Asphalt Repairs, £5m net (£6m gross), awarded to WJ North and Multevo. Evaluation for every area was 25% price, 60% quality and 15% social value.

This framework demonstrates recurring highway works demand from Blackburn With Darwen Borough Council across surfacing, civil engineering, cold milling and asphalt repairs. It is relevant to road contractors, civil engineering firms, groundwork businesses, asphalt specialists, road planing operators and organisations with suitable plant, crews and supply-chain capacity. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable, and the appointed market included both SMEs and larger contractors. A credible future competitor would need evidence of delivering comparable highway works, dependable operational capacity and the ability to respond promptly to individual work briefs. For surfacing and civils, suppliers would need to compete effectively either through framework ranking or quotations in further competitions, where price was the sole criterion. Cold milling and asphalt repairs required delivery against a priced schedule of rates.
