Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Ealing is in the planning phase for its upcoming "Highway Maintenance Term Contracts" with an expected start date of 1st April 2027. This procurement process is part of the "works" industry category, focusing on extensive highway maintenance and civil improvements across London, UK. The contracts are divided into two lots, covering various services such as reactive and planned maintenance, emergency highway services, and structural engineering works. The pre-market engagement, anticipated to influence the procurement strategy, includes a scheduled milestone requiring participants to submit a questionnaire by 7th July 2026. A future notice for the official tender is expected to be published by 14th August 2026.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in engineering works, paving, and road maintenance services to expand their portfolio with a public authority contract. Given the scale and scope, it is particularly suited for small and medium enterprises capable of handling large-scale projects that span over several years. Companies focusing on infrastructure improvements, sustainable urban development, and emergency response would find this tender particularly fitting as it involves acting as the Principal Contractor for comprehensive maintenance and improvements under the Construction (Design & Management) Regulations 2015. With an estimated contract value grossing £168 million, it presents a lucrative opportunity for growth within the infrastructure sector.
