Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the City of Wakefield commissioned carriageway resurfacing works on the A650 Wrenthorpe Bypass. This is a road-repair and highway maintenance requirement, classified as carriageway resurfacing works. The work is associated with the Wrenthorpe Bypass in Wakefield and was procured as a single requirement. The council is the public-sector buyer and the procurement was for physical works rather than goods or consultancy services. The selected supplier, Derek Lewis Limited, is based in Doncaster and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement therefore relates to contractors able to deliver road surfacing and associated carriageway repair work for a local authority, with activity centred on the Wakefield area.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Derek Lewis Limited. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method recorded as unknown, and comprised one completed lot. The contract was signed on 9 September 2026. Its active period runs from 9 September 2026 to 10 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £108,471 gross, in GBP, and the procurement was below the applicable threshold. The award is active and the contract is active. The available outcome records identify the supplier and contract value, but do not set out an award date or an evaluation basis. This is an awarded, short-duration carriageway resurfacing contract for the Wakefield council.

For a competitor, this procurement demonstrates demand from Wakefield Council for short, targeted carriageway resurfacing on a principal local road. A credible future supplier would need practical highway surfacing capability, including the ability to plan and carry out carriageway resurfacing safely and efficiently in the Wakefield area. Experience delivering comparable road-repair works for public-sector or local-authority clients would help demonstrate suitability, while operational capacity would need to support a tightly defined site programme and rapid completion. The award to an SME shows that this type of requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller contractor rather than only a major national infrastructure business. Businesses in road surfacing and highway maintenance should monitor this buyer’s comparable requirements.
