Summary of the contracting process

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council procured highway works to preserve road surfaces across its road network. The trial involved applying a penetrative preservation treatment to selected asphalt roads, extending their service life and slowing surface ageing. The treatment is intended as an alternative to conventional resurfacing, while maintaining the road surface’s grip, texture and noise characteristics. It is also intended to reduce disruption for local businesses and residents because affected roads would need to be closed for a shorter period. The work is associated with construction, foundation and surface works for highways and roads (CPV 45233000). Delivery was in Stockton-on-Tees, within the council’s network. The council sought a lower-impact treatment that could reduce maintenance requirements and deliver substantial carbon savings compared with resurfacing.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. The council used a limited direct-award procedure from the NEPO210 Highways Surfacing framework, Lot 17 for penetrative surface preservation, without prior publication of a competition notice. Price was the stated award criterion, and one bid was recorded. Colas Ltd was awarded the contract on 24 July 2026 for £48,000. The contract is active; the published outcome records the related tender lot as cancelled, while the award and contract remain active. The procurement was a trial project under a direct award route, with the stated rationale that it was taken from the framework’s surface-preservation lot. No contract end date or duration is provided in the published outcome.

This outcome shows a specific council requirement for specialist highway surface-preservation work rather than conventional resurfacing. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in penetrative asphalt preservation treatments, highway construction and surface works, and the ability to work safely on selected roads within a local-authority network. Relevant experience should include delivering treatment in line with a defined trial specification, controlling road closures and disruption, and demonstrating that the treated surface retains its required grip, texture and noise characteristics. The buyer’s stated objectives also point to suppliers able to evidence extended pavement service life, reduced maintenance needs, lower carbon impact and shorter closures. The route used was a highways surfacing framework direct award, so framework access and a competitive price would also be commercially important.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Road Surface Preservation

Notice Description

Trial project through a Direct award from a framework. The purpose of applying a "preservation treatment" to selected roads of the Stockton Council network is to extend their service life. The treatment resolution is to slow down the ageing process of the treated asphalt surface course thus significantly reducing the amount of funds Stockton Council needs to spend on maintenance works. The option of applying a "preservation treatment" would provide the Council with an alternative solution to resurfacing. The "preservation treatment" would be cheaper offer than resurfacing which would be beneficial if funding became restricted or was not available. This measure would also be less impactful to local businesses and residents as the process would require the affected roads to be closed for a shorter period of time than for a resurfacing scheme. The application of a "preservation treatment" would not impact the asphalt condition with no change to surface characteristics (grip, texture and noise) and would deliver a very high CO2 savings compared to conventional road resurfacing measure.
