Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the City of Wakefield procured civil engineering works to resurface footways in Wakefield city centre, under the requirement titled Wakefield City Centre Re-Surfacing. The scope is described as civils work and footway re-surfacing, with the associated classification also covering carriageway resurfacing works. Delivery is in the Wakefield area. This is a local authority requirement for physical highway and pedestrian-surface improvement rather than consultancy, routine maintenance, supplies or building construction. Businesses relevant to this requirement are civil engineering and highways contractors able to undertake resurfacing works in an urban city-centre environment. The buyer is The Council of the City of Wakefield, based in Wakefield, and the procurement comprised a single lot.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure; the published method is recorded as unknown. One supplier, R S Civil Engineering Limited, was awarded the work for £24,956 gross. The contract was signed on 8 July 2026 and runs from 4 August 2026 to 5 August 2026. The award is active and the contract is active. The award relates to the single lot covering the Wakefield City Centre Re-Surfacing requirement. The recorded procurement category is works. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The opportunity was evaluated through the buyer’s stated procurement process, with the award made to R S Civil Engineering Limited.

This award demonstrates demand from Wakefield Council for short-duration, city-centre resurfacing delivered by a civil engineering contractor. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need practical highways and civils capability, including footway resurfacing and related carriageway surfacing works. Experience working in constrained urban locations would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to plan and complete physical works within a tightly defined delivery window while managing public access, traffic interfaces and site safety. The award to an SME indicates that this type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist contractor rather than only by a large national infrastructure business. Firms with directly relevant resurfacing experience, suitable plant and labour, and the capacity to mobilise efficiently would be well placed when Wakefield Council next tests comparable demand.
