Summary of the contracting process

Braintree District Council commissioned highway construction works for improvements to the A131/London Road south roundabout, including widening the roundabout to create two lanes. The requirement covers road, junction and roundabout construction works, including associated highway works. Delivery is at the A131/London Road south roundabout in the Braintree area. Essex County Council acted as the procuring entity on behalf of Braintree District Council. This is a single works requirement rather than a multi-lot programme. The procurement is relevant to civil engineering contractors and specialist highway construction businesses with experience delivering junction improvements, roundabout construction and road-widening schemes for public-sector or comparable infrastructure clients.

The procurement is complete and was run as a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries closed on 27 May 2026 and tenders were due by 5 June 2026 at 12:00. The estimated value was £220,000 excluding VAT, or £264,000 including VAT. Four bids were received, all four from SMEs. Henderson & Taylor Public Works Limited was awarded the contract on 7 August 2026 for £133,141.84 excluding VAT, or £159,770.21 including VAT. The awarded contract period is 1 December 2026 to 31 January 2027. Evaluation allocated 50% to price, 45% to quality and 5% to social value. Quality covered specification delivery, project team and programme, while health and safety accreditation was pass/fail.

This award demonstrates demand from Braintree District Council and Essex County Council for focused highway improvement works at roundabouts and road junctions. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in highway construction, road widening and junction delivery, supported by a project team able to manage specification compliance, programming and site delivery. Evidence of quality performance would matter because quality formed a substantial part of the evaluation, alongside competitive pricing and demonstrable social value. Health and safety accreditation is an essential gateway requirement rather than a scored advantage. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs, so capable smaller civil engineering and highways contractors can compete where they can demonstrate the required delivery resources, controls and experience.
