Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Day Works Civils" is managed by Via East Midlands Limited on behalf of Nottinghamshire County Council. The contract falls under the civil engineering industry category with a focus on essential works for highway maintenance, involving both planned and ad-hoc civil construction tasks. The project's location is in the UK region of East Midlands, specifically Bilsthorpe. Currently, at the tender stage, it has been updated as of 18th May 2026. Due to urgent circumstances beyond the authority's control, the tender timescale has been shortened to a 10-day period, with submissions closing on 26th May 2026. The procurement is conducted under an open procedure with a framework agreement where the contract value is estimated at £4,800,000 gross, and a contract period scheduled from 15th June 2026 to 14th June 2027, with possible extensions.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in civil and construction engineering sectors, particularly those skilled in highway maintenance and infrastructure projects. SMEs and VCSEs are encouraged to participate, given their suitability for this contract. With plans to award contracts to three companies, firms capable of delivering comprehensive civil works efficiently stand to benefit from securing steady business throughout the contract term. The procurement strategy, which allows for direct awards and further competition amongst framework participants, provides a platform for a variety of business sizes to compete effectively. A robust submission in line with Via East Midlands' evaluation criteria could lead to substantial growth through this government contract, making it an attractive proposition for seasoned contractors in this field.
