Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council procured major highway reconstruction on the A1031 between Thoresby Bridge and Sheepmarsh Road at North Cotes, Lincolnshire. The scheme covers approximately 1.95 kilometres of carriageway and includes in-situ or ex-situ cold recycling. A smaller amount of associated work involves drainage, footway reconstruction and verge works. The procurement is categorised as construction work and the delivery location is Lincolnshire. The requirement is therefore suited to civil engineering and highways contractors able to undertake road reconstruction alongside related drainage, footway and verge works, including work in constrained conditions such as night-time operations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective, competitive route described as a below-threshold award under a framework. One lot was awarded to THOMAS BOW LIMITED. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026, runs from 28 July 2026 to 8 September 2026, and has a gross value of £1,690,025.41. The award is active and the contract is active. The recorded evaluation approach was competitive selection under the framework; the data does not set out separate quality, price or technical weightings. This outcome shows a single supplier appointment for the full highway scheme rather than separate awards for the carriageway, drainage, footway or verge elements.

This procurement is useful market evidence for highways and civil engineering businesses seeking comparable work with Lincolnshire County Council. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in major carriageway reconstruction and in-situ or ex-situ cold recycling, supported by the capacity to deliver associated drainage, footway and verge works within one scheme. Experience of managing approximately two kilometres of road works and maintaining delivery during night-time operations would be relevant. The award also demonstrates that the council uses a competitive, selective route under a framework for below-threshold highway works, so suppliers seeking similar opportunities would benefit from suitable framework access and a delivery model capable of handling a complete, multi-discipline road scheme.
