UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "CWC26095MW - Highways Maintenance Contract", aimed at enhancing highways maintenance and minor works services across Wolverhampton. The initiative falls under the 'Construction, foundation and surface works for highways, roads' industry category. This preliminary market engagement process is intended to gather insights and shape the procurement strategy. Interested parties are invited to express their interest by 18th June 2026 by completing a questionnaire via the CWC e-tendering system. The contracting period is anticipated to begin on 5th April 2027 and, if renewed, could extend until April 2037.

This tender represents a significant business opportunity for companies specialising in construction and maintenance of roadways, particularly those capable of handling planned, reactive, and specialised works as well as supporting services. It is a sizable tender with a gross value of £76.44 million, suitable for small and medium enterprises. Businesses capable of delivering integrated services across multiple scopes may find this a lucrative opportunity to collaborate, offering potential for growth and diversification, as well as ensuring contract management efficiency and value delivery. An ideal candidate would be able to demonstrate resilience, capacity for mobilisation, and a strategic approach to combining service themes to maximise value and efficiency.

Notice Information

Notice Title

CWC26095MW - Highways Maintenance Contract

Notice Description

The City of Wolverhampton Council is considering options for the future delivery of highways maintenance and minor works services across the city. This PME is intended to test the market and obtain feedback on the most suitable packaging and delivery approach before any procurement strategy is finalised. The indicative scope is being developed from current and anticipated service requirements across several highways-related service areas. The scope may include planned works, reactive works, specialist works and supporting services. CWC is particularly interested in understanding which suppliers can deliver the individual themes, whether suppliers can deliver multiple themes together, and whether certain combinations would support better value, resilience, mobilisation and contract management. The proposed themes are indicative at this stage and may be refined following this PME. CWC is not asking suppliers to price the works at this stage. The Council is seeking views on capability, preferred lotting or package combinations, market appetite and any risks or dependencies that should be considered.
