Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council is procuring highway resurfacing and associated works at several locations in Nelson, Lancashire. The requirement covers removing existing carriageway surfaces and disposing of the arisings, supplying and installing new road surfacing to the council’s material specifications, adjusting and renewing ironwork, and supplying and installing road markings. The successful contractor will also oversee temporary traffic management, alongside a traffic-management service provider already appointed. The work is classified as carriageway resurfacing and falls within the construction works category. Detailed drawings, location information and technical specifications are provided with the tender pack. The council is the buying organisation and the works will be delivered in Nelson and surrounding locations covered by the requirement.

The process reached tender: Lancashire County Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. There is one lot, with a gross value of £1,440,000 (£1,200,000 excluding VAT). Clarification questions were due by 24 August 2026 at 17:00, and electronic tender submissions were due by 28 August 2026 at 12:00. Bids are submitted through the council’s iSupplier portal using reference LCC47938. The contract period is from 28 September 2026 to 9 November 2026. Tenders will be evaluated on 60% price and 40% quality, with the full criteria in the tender documents. The tender dates were amended, extending the period for receiving tenders and clarifications by one week.

This opportunity suits civil engineering and highway maintenance contractors able to deliver carriageway resurfacing across multiple locations within a short, defined programme. Suppliers need capability in planing or removing existing road surfaces, lawful disposal of arisings, installation of new surfacing materials to Lancashire County Council specifications, ironwork adjustment and renewal, and road-marking installation. They must also be able to coordinate and oversee temporary traffic management during the works, working with the provider already appointed for that service. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may be relevant to established regional contractors as well as larger roadworks businesses. Strong quality evidence and efficient cost control will both matter because quality accounts for 40% of the evaluation, alongside 60% for price.
