Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the City of Wakefield procured carriageway resurfacing works on Elizabeth Drive in Castleford. The requirement covers resurfacing the road carriageway, making this a civil engineering and highways maintenance opportunity rather than a general construction or facilities management contract. The work is associated with Castleford and the wider Wakefield area in West Yorkshire. The council was the buying organisation and the requirement was structured as a single lot. The relevant classification is CPV 45233223, carriageway resurfacing works. Businesses suited to this type of work include highways contractors and civil engineering firms with the equipment, workforce and operational capability to carry out road resurfacing in an urban local-authority setting.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Derek Lewis Limited, an SME. The award is active and the related contract is also active. The procurement was below threshold and its recorded procedure detail is “unknown”. The contract was signed on 3 July 2026, with a contract period from 28 July 2026 to 29 July 2026. The awarded contract value is £25,643 gross, including taxes, in GBP. The award covers the single lot for Elizabeth Drive carriageway resurfacing. The contract period indicates a short, concentrated delivery requirement. The available outcome information records the selected supplier and awarded value, but does not set out an award scoring basis or separate evaluation weightings.

This procurement is useful market evidence for highways and civil engineering businesses seeking work from Wakefield Council. It shows demand for a focused carriageway resurfacing package delivered through a below-threshold route, with an awarded scale suited to an SME rather than only a major national contractor. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need proven carriageway resurfacing capability, suitable plant and materials, competent site supervision, and the capacity to organise a short, concentrated roadworks programme. Experience delivering highways maintenance or resurfacing for local authorities would help demonstrate reliability, traffic-management awareness and the ability to work safely within an occupied urban road environment. The buyer’s requirement is specifically road resurfacing in Castleford, so relevant local delivery experience would be commercially useful.
