Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the City of Wakefield commissioned footway patching using slurry seal, a surface treatment for repairing and maintaining pedestrian paths. The works cover five named locations: Woodcock Way in South Elmsall, Cedar Walk in Featherstone, Barnsdale Estate in Cutsyke, Rosa Avenue in Upton, and St Ives Close in Pontefract. This is a public works requirement for contractors able to prepare and apply slurry-seal treatments to footways across the Wakefield area. The procurement’s classification describes the work as surface work for footpaths. The council is the buying organisation and the work is delivered at the listed sites within its local area. The requirement is focused on practical highway and civil engineering delivery rather than design, consultancy or general facilities management.

The procurement has been awarded and is recorded as complete, with one completed lot. R S Civil Engineering Limited was selected as the supplier, and the contract is active. The procurement used a below-threshold procedure; its recorded method detail is “below threshold - unknown”. The contract was signed on 13 July 2026. It runs from 18 August 2026 to 19 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £37,168 gross, including applicable taxes, in GBP. The outcome relates to the single footway patching and slurry-seal requirement across the five named sites. The available procurement information records the works category and the supplier outcome, but does not set out a separate award date or an evaluation weighting.

This procurement indicates demand from Wakefield Council for specialist footway maintenance delivered through a short, concentrated civil engineering commission. Suppliers best placed for comparable future requirements would have practical experience in footway patching, slurry-seal application and surface works for pedestrian routes. They would also need the equipment, operatives and management capacity to coordinate work across several urban locations and complete site-based activities within a tightly defined delivery window. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement was accessible to a smaller civil engineering business rather than limited to a major national contractor. Firms with established local-area logistics, safe working practices and experience delivering council highway or public-realm maintenance would be credible competitors when this type of requirement returns.
