Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council procured civil engineering works for three schemes in Coventry. The first involves improving existing infrastructure at Tile Hill Station, including a cycleway designed to comply with LTN 1/20 standards. The second covers improvements to existing cycle infrastructure at Westwood Way, also using LTN 1/20 standards and requirements. The third involves installing new traffic signals at the Pickford Green Lane junction. This is a works contract focused on cycle-path construction, wider transport infrastructure and junction improvements. Delivery is in Coventry. The procurement was a single-lot requirement, with the council acting as the buyer and procuring authority. It is relevant to civil engineering contractors, highways specialists, cycle-route construction firms and traffic-signal installation contractors able to deliver coordinated transport schemes.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following an open, below-threshold competition. Nine bids reached the final stage, including eight from SMEs. Breheny Civil Engineering Limited was awarded the contract on 10 July 2026 for £1,920,490 excluding VAT (£2,304,588 including VAT). The award period runs from 31 July 2026 to 24 September 2027; a contract signature milestone was scheduled for 31 July 2026. The tender submission deadline was 15 June 2026 at 12:00, and enquiries closed on 8 June 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation was based equally on price and quality. Quality covered method statement, resources and programme; traffic management; utility interfaces; understanding and delivery; early contractor involvement, cost planning and value for money; and social value, carbon reduction and community engagement.

This award demonstrates demand from Coventry City Council for integrated highways and active-travel delivery rather than standalone design work. A credible future competitor would need practical civil engineering capability covering cycleway construction, upgrades to existing cycle infrastructure and traffic-signal installation, with the ability to coordinate several schemes. Strong evidence would include delivering works to LTN 1/20 requirements, preparing robust method statements, resourcing and programmes, and managing road-space bookings, traffic management, utilities and other third-party interfaces. Suppliers should also be able to demonstrate understanding of the project type, early contractor involvement, cost planning and value for money. Social value, carbon reduction and community engagement formed part of the quality assessment, so these should be embedded in delivery plans. The competition also shows that smaller firms can reach the final stage, potentially through suitable capacity or delivery partnerships.
