Summary of the contracting process

Wrexham County Borough Council procured a framework for highways and civil engineering minor works in the Wrexham area. It is intended to support the award of individual contracts and work orders for construction activity, including construction structures, materials and associated works. The framework covers smaller-scale highways and civil engineering requirements rather than a single defined project. The procurement is categorised as works and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Suppliers would need to provide the practical delivery capability, site resources and technical expertise required for varied minor works commissioned by the council. The opportunity is relevant to construction contractors and specialist civil engineering businesses able to undertake council highways work and respond to separate work orders under a framework arrangement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. The framework was divided into two lots: Lot 1 for works up to £150,000 and Lot 2 for works from £150,001 to £200,000; the recorded award relates to Lot 1. The Lot 1 estimated value was £3,000,000 excluding VAT, or £3,600,000 including VAT. Six suppliers were awarded places: A. Parry Construction Co. Ltd, EVABUILD LIMITED, J&L Construction Ltd, J R ROBERTS SLURRY SEALING LIMITED, ML HUGHES CONSTRUCTION LTD, and TIMOTHY CHARLES AND COMPANY LIMITED. The award date was 2 September 2026. The awarded contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with an option to extend by two years in annual increments, to 30 September 2030. Evaluation was 70% commercial price and 30% quality and technical response.

This award shows that Wrexham County Borough Council uses a multi-supplier framework for recurring highways and civil engineering minor works, with opportunities delivered through individual contracts or work orders. It is particularly relevant to experienced and qualified construction and civil engineering contractors, including SMEs: all six final-stage bidders were SMEs. Credible competitors would need demonstrable ability to deliver varied highways and civil works, answer detailed quality and technical questions, and provide competitive pricing against representative mock schemes. Businesses with practical site delivery capacity, suitable construction resources and experience of working for public sector clients would be well placed to prepare for a future requirement from this buyer. Specialist contractors able to support minor works packages may also be relevant.
