Summary of the contracting process

Braintree District Council is currently inviting bids for the "H120 Roadworks" project, which involves highway improvement works, specifically widening the A131/London Road south roundabout to create two lanes. The project has an estimated budget of £220,000 and falls under the construction work for highways and roads in the South East of England (UKH3 region). The procurement process is at the 'Tender' stage, with Braintree District Council as the buying organisation and Essex County Council acting as the procuring entity. Interested parties should note the tender period ends on 5th June 2026, and enquiries must be submitted by 27th May 2026. The procurement method being employed is an open competition, suitable for SMEs, and is under the legal basis outlined in UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender represents a promising opportunity for businesses involved in road construction, especially those experienced in highway improvements and roundabout construction work. Given the open competition format, businesses with strong proposals in pricing, quality, and social value will be well-positioned to compete, with evaluation criteria heavily weighted towards price (50%), quality (45%), and social value (5%). Companies that possess robust project management capabilities, a qualified team to meet the programme requirements, and hold valid health and safety accreditations will find themselves highly suitable candidates for this project.
