Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Lincolnshire Council procured three reactive pothole repair gangs for road-maintenance works. The requirement covers teams able to find and fix potholes as reactive highway repairs, rather than a general construction programme. Work is associated with North Lincolnshire, with the council based in Scunthorpe. The procurement’s classification is road-maintenance works (CPV 45233141). The selected supplier, EC Surfacing, is based in Brigg and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The buying organisation is North Lincolnshire Council, a local authority responsible for public services in the area. The requirement is therefore suited to businesses providing operational highway maintenance and pothole repair services, particularly those able to deploy multiple repair gangs across North Lincolnshire.

The process is complete and an active award has been made to EC Surfacing. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 for £557,280. The award followed a selective procurement using a restricted procedure and was awarded through the Highways and Construction Framework. Price was the stated evaluation criterion, and one bid was recorded for the lot. The contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The tender record describes the lot as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active; the active award is to EC Surfacing. No contract end date or duration is stated. The procurement was for three reactive pothole repair gangs, and the award relates to the single lot used for this requirement.

This outcome shows North Lincolnshire Council’s demand for dedicated, reactive pothole repair capacity delivered through its highways and construction procurement route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to organise and operate three repair gangs, respond to highway defects, and carry out practical road-maintenance and pothole-repair works safely and consistently. The requirement also indicates that a small or medium-sized surfacing business can be selected for this scale of council highway work. Businesses should therefore assess their gang capacity, supervision, plant, materials, emergency or reactive mobilisation arrangements, and ability to work across North Lincolnshire. Access to, or eligibility for, the relevant Highways and Construction Framework would also be commercially important.
