Summary of the contracting process

Shropshire Council intends to procure a highways term maintenance contract covering construction and maintenance work for highways and roads. The scope is classified as construction work for highways and roads, so it is relevant to contractors that deliver road maintenance, highway infrastructure works and associated civil engineering services. The buying organisation is Shropshire Council, a local public authority. The work is intended for delivery within the United Kingdom, in connection with the council’s highways responsibilities. The procurement is categorised as works rather than goods or services. It is organised as a single lot, covering the overall highways term maintenance requirement rather than separate lots for different work packages or locations.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Shropshire Council has announced an intention to procure, but this record does not invite tenders. The tender is marked as planned. The council expects the next notice to be published on 1 December 2026. The planned contract is expected to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031. Its estimated value is £40 million excluding VAT and £48 million including VAT. The requirement is arranged as one lot, with no separate lotting structure. The available information identifies the procurement as a highways term maintenance works contract, but does not set out an expected procurement procedure, submission arrangements or evaluation criteria at this stage.

The planned requirement is suited to small and medium-sized enterprises as well as larger highways contractors. Suppliers likely to be well placed are firms with the operational capability to undertake term maintenance and construction work across a public authority’s highways network, including road infrastructure and related civil engineering activities. Businesses should use the planning period to assess whether they can provide the workforce, plant, materials, contract management and response capacity needed for a multi-year highways maintenance arrangement. The published scope does not identify particular accreditations, named qualifications or minimum experience requirements. Contractors may therefore wish to monitor the next notice and prepare evidence of relevant highways delivery capability when the detailed requirements are issued.
