Summary of the contracting process

Westmorland and Furness Council is procuring road-marking and associated highway works across the full Westmorland and Furness council area. The work includes road markings for traffic regulation orders, road-safety schemes and the renewal of worn markings, together with high-friction and coloured surfacing. Requirements will be instructed through task orders across the Council’s highway network, so the appointed contractor will need to respond to individual works as they arise. This is a highway maintenance and road-surface painting service. The procurement is not divided into lots, meaning one contractor is sought for the full geographic and service scope. The work is classified under road-surface painting and road repair, maintenance and associated services.

The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited offers through an open procedure. Electronic submission is allowed and bids must be in English. The tender deadline set by the Council was 18 September 2026 at 14:00. The intended award decision date was 9 November 2026. The contract is valued at £2.4 million gross and is planned to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2028, with a one-year extension option to 31 December 2029. There is one lot, suitable for SMEs. Offers will be evaluated equally on quality and price, weighted at 50% each. The Council has reserved the right not to award a contract and does not guarantee subsequent task orders.

This opportunity suits contractors specialising in highway road marking, traffic-regulation works, road-safety schemes and associated road-surface treatments. Relevant capability includes renewing worn markings and delivering high-friction or coloured surfacing across a council-wide highway network. Suppliers should be equipped to undertake varied task orders and manage works across Westmorland and Furness rather than a single site. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may suit an established regional contractor or a larger highway-services business with the necessary operational reach. Bidders must comply fully with statutory obligations and applicable legislation, including the Council’s requirements on diversity. The appointed supplier must also participate in the Authority’s supplier audits covering diversity matters.
