Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured highway maintenance resources through its Highway Maintenance Resources Framework 2026. The work order covers the provision of resources identified in the framework price list, classified as highways engineering services. Delivery is in Leicestershire. The requirement is for businesses able to supply resources for highway maintenance activity rather than a single defined construction project. The council is the buyer and the work forms part of its county-level highway service. The procurement relates to one completed work order under the wider framework, providing a clear indication of the council’s need for external highways engineering capacity and resource support.

The procurement has been completed and the work order was awarded under a framework using a selective procedure. It was non-competitive at call-off stage: the first-ranked framework supplier was offered and accepted Work Order 001/26. One lot was awarded. The contract was awarded to CF Construction (Collingham) Limited on 1 August 2026 and signed on 3 August 2026. The contract runs from 3 August 2026 to 31 January 2027. Its value is £1,400,000 excluding VAT, or £1,680,000 including VAT. CF Construction is the sole awarded supplier. The evaluation outcome followed the framework’s selection procedure and the supplier’s first-ranked position, rather than a fresh competition for this work order.

This award shows that Leicestershire County Council uses its highway maintenance resources framework to obtain substantial external highways engineering support through work orders. A competitor seeking similar work would need to provide the types of resources listed in the framework price list and demonstrate the technical capability, operational capacity and reliability needed for highway maintenance delivery. Experience of working under a public-sector framework and responding to the council’s selection procedure would be commercially relevant. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a suitably capable smaller business rather than only by a major national contractor. Suppliers should focus on highway engineering resources, mobilisation and dependable delivery for county-wide council operations.
