Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured works to upgrade existing road restraint systems along the A57 Snake Pass in Derbyshire. This is Contract 2 of a two-contract project. It covers restraint-system upgrades on sections either side of a planned road closure; the separately procured Contract 1 covers upgrades within the closure area. The requirement sits within road infrastructure construction, repair and maintenance, including associated construction materials and road safety equipment. The awarded work was classified as civil engineering and construction works, with road markings also identified in the awarded scope. Delivery is in the A57 Snake Pass area of Derbyshire. The buying organisation is Derbyshire County Council, a local public authority. The requirement is therefore relevant to contractors specialising in road restraint systems, highways works, civil engineering, road safety infrastructure or related maintenance.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender enquiry deadline was 26 May 2026 at 11:00, submissions closed on 9 June 2026 at 11:00, and the award period ended on 29 June 2026. Four bids were received, all four reaching the final stage and all four from SMEs. H.W. Martin Safety Fencing Limited was awarded the contract on 21 July 2026 for £144,164 gross. The lot was evaluated on price weighted at 70% and quality at 30%, and was marked suitable for SMEs. The lot’s estimated gross value was £300,000. The awarded contract period was 11 August to 27 October 2026. The signed contract is active, was signed on 20 August 2026, and records a contract period of 21 September to 2 November 2026 at £144,164 gross.

This procurement demonstrates Derbyshire County Council’s demand for specialist highways safety infrastructure on the A57 Snake Pass, delivered through a competitively tendered civil engineering works contract. A credible future supplier would need practical capability in upgrading road restraint systems around live or planned highway works, installing or working with construction structures and materials, and managing associated road repair, maintenance and road-marking activities. Experience of delivering safe, coordinated works on roads and of working within traffic-management or road-closure arrangements would be commercially relevant to this requirement. The competition attracted four final-stage bids, all from SMEs, and the lot was explicitly suitable for SMEs. Suppliers should therefore be able to evidence dependable highways delivery, appropriate site and project management, quality performance and competitive pricing, with quality carrying a substantial part of the evaluation.
