UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NY Highways Limited is organising a procurement process titled "Highway Maintenance Gangs and Other Operatives" with a focus on highway maintenance work under the "works" industry category. The process is currently at the planning stage with a projected contract period from 1st November 2026 to 31st October 2028, potentially extending to 31st October 2030. The location for this procurement process is specified as UKE2, United Kingdom. This procurement involves a concession framework agreement to involve the supply of labour, vehicles, and appropriate equipment. The preliminary market engagement notice was published on 2nd July 2026, marking an initial step towards formal tender stages, seeking expressions of interest and capabilities from potential suppliers.

This tender presents substantial business opportunities, especially for contractors involved in highway maintenance, by providing a framework where contractors work independently on highway tasks. The value of the contract is significant at £7.3 million, offering an extensive engagement window for suppliers. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could find this particularly beneficial, especially those capable of providing supplementary resources during peak demand periods or for winter maintenance. The tender seeks suppliers who can offer scalable solutions, filling gaps in the buyer's internal capabilities and ensuring efficiency in the maintenance of highways across North Yorkshire. With a focus on future extended opportunities, the framework allows suppliers to secure long-term business with NY Highways Limited.
