Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned specialist highway surface treatment works for 2026/27. The requirement is described as Retread Recycling: an alternative to conventional recycling in which an existing road surface is recycled and relaid to create a new profile. The work category is highway resurfacing and surface treatment, including carriageway and footpath surface works, road markings and associated highway surfacing. This is a single requirement for the council, whose base is Town Hall, Barnsley, South Yorkshire. The appointed supplier is a large UK road infrastructure contractor, indicating a requirement suited to businesses able to deliver specialist road surface treatment and related highway works at council scale. The work is classified as construction rather than goods or general services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded under a competitive selective procedure described as a below-threshold award under a framework. Colas Ltd was awarded the single requirement on 26 August 2026. The award value is £202,395.65 excluding VAT, or £242,874.78 including VAT. The contract period runs from 8 September 2026 to 30 October 2026, with signature scheduled for 8 September 2026. Evaluation details beyond the competitive framework-based procedure are not set out. The award is active and covers the full requirement rather than separate supplier awards. The process used the 2023/54 legal basis and was below the applicable threshold.

This award demonstrates established demand from Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council for specialist surface treatment delivered within a short, defined highway works programme. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in recycling and relaying existing road surfaces to a new profile, together with highway resurfacing, carriageway and footpath surface works, and road-marking operations. Relevant plant, trained site teams, traffic and site management arrangements, and the capacity to coordinate several connected highway activities would be important. Experience delivering comparable local-authority road programmes and working through a framework-based competitive route would strengthen a supplier’s position. The selected contractor’s large scale also indicates that bidders need sufficient operational capacity, financial resilience and quality systems to manage council works safely and reliably.
