Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council procured highway surfacing works using grouted macadam under Lot 2 of the NEPO210 Highway Surfacing Framework. The requirement is for a single contractor to deliver resurfacing works across Northumberland County. This is a works contract rather than a supply or consultancy opportunity, and the activity is intended for the council’s highway network. The procurement covers the council’s county-wide need for grouted macadam surfacing, with the awarded work classified as resurfacing works (CPV 45233251). Businesses relevant to this requirement are highway surfacing contractors able to undertake grouted macadam works across Northumberland and manage delivery as a single appointed contractor.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a competitive selective process under the NEPO210 Highway Surfacing Framework. It was treated as a below-threshold framework award. Miles Macadam Limited was appointed for the grouted macadam lot. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. Its value is £1,000,000 excluding VAT, or £1,200,000 including VAT. The council has two options to extend the contract by up to 12 months each, with the maximum contract end date of 30 August 2030. The award covers one completed lot and the contract is active.

This award demonstrates a defined and sizeable requirement from Northumberland County Council for specialist highway surfacing, specifically grouted macadam, delivered across the county by one contractor. Competitors would need practical capability in road resurfacing and grouted macadam installation, together with the plant, workforce and operational capacity to deliver county-wide highway works. The single-contractor structure indicates that bidders must be able to take responsibility for coordinating and delivering the requirement as a whole, rather than supplying an isolated product or small standalone service. Experience of public-sector highway work and the ability to operate through a highway surfacing framework would make a supplier credible for a future requirement of this type.
