UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured highway maintenance resources under its Highway Maintenance Resources Framework 2026. The requirement covered the provision of resources identified in the framework price list, for a highway maintenance work order. The main service category is highways engineering services. Delivery was for Leicestershire County Council’s highway network in Leicestershire. The council is the public-sector buyer and the selected supplier was All Roads Asphalt Solutions Ltd, a Leicester-based small or medium-sized enterprise. The work formed part of a framework call-off rather than a standalone open-market contract. The requirement was managed as a single service lot and relates to practical highway maintenance resource provision rather than general construction or unrelated consultancy services.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded under a below-threshold framework procedure using a selective, non-competitive call-off. The first-ranked supplier was offered Work Order 002/26 but rejected it; the opportunity was then offered to and accepted by the second-ranked supplier, All Roads Asphalt Solutions Ltd. The award was made on 3 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 3 August 2026 to 4 October 2026. Its value is £120,000 excluding VAT, or £144,000 including VAT. One lot was awarded, and the award is active. The outcome demonstrates the framework’s selection procedure in operation, with the next-ranked supplier taking the work after the initial offer was declined.

For suppliers that did not win this work order, the procurement is evidence that Leicestershire County Council uses its Highway Maintenance Resources Framework to obtain additional practical highway maintenance capacity through ranked work-order offers. A credible future competitor would need to provide highway engineering or asphalt-related resources matching the framework’s price-list requirements and be able to support delivery across Leicestershire. The successful provider was an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a major national contractor. Businesses with proven highway maintenance capability, suitable operational capacity for short work orders, and the ability to respond through a framework’s ranked selection process are the closest comparison for this buyer’s requirement.
