Summary of the contracting process

DfI Transport and Road Asset Management (TRAM), part of the Department for Infrastructure, procured road surfacing and associated highway maintenance works for the public road network in the Dungannon contract area. The requirement covers carriageway resurfacing and asphalt surfacing, reshaping and profile correction, temporary traffic management, adjustment of ironwork and street furniture, kerb works, highway drainage, road markings and road studs, together with ancillary works needed to complete maintenance and safety-critical resurfacing schemes. Delivery is through a Measured Term Contract, with individual works commissioned by Works Orders and potentially multiple resurfacing schemes running concurrently. The main category is civil engineering and road surface works, including CPV 45233220 for surface work for roads. The arrangement supports continuity of essential highway maintenance pending a longer-term replacement contract.

This procurement is complete and was awarded to FP McCann Limited on 18 September 2026. It used a below-threshold open competition, with six valid bids received, including three from SMEs. The awarded value is £4,300,000 excluding VAT, or £5,160,000 including VAT. The award contract period is 1 October to 30 November 2026, with the buyer holding an option to extend it at its discretion up to a maximum term of 12 months, subject to operational requirements and satisfactory performance. Works Orders were expected generally to range from £50,001 to £750,000. The successful tender had to pass eligibility and compliance and technical capability assessments, then achieve the most advantageous tender based on the Tender Assessment Total Price.

This requirement indicates sustained demand from TRAM for contractors able to deliver road resurfacing and related highway infrastructure works across the Dungannon area. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capacity for asphalt and carriageway works, profile correction and concurrent schemes, supported by reliable access to plant, materials and suitably skilled site teams. It would also need to manage temporary traffic arrangements, road markings and studs, kerbs, ironwork, drainage and other associated highway works within an integrated delivery programme. The procurement attracted six valid tenderers, showing competition from both larger businesses and SMEs. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate compliant tendering, sound technical capability, responsive Works Order delivery and the operational resilience needed for safety-critical public road maintenance.
