UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Shropshire Council intends to procure highways term maintenance works. The requirement covers construction and maintenance activity for highways and roads, under a single planned contract. It is a public works procurement for the council’s highways network in Shropshire. The scope is described at a high level as a term maintenance contract, so relevant businesses are likely to be those providing highway construction, road maintenance and associated infrastructure works. The planned procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The council is the buyer and contracting authority, with the work serving its local highways responsibilities rather than a general supply requirement. Firms whose core business is road and highway works should find the subject matter relevant when the procurement reaches the market.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Shropshire Council has announced an intention to procure, but this record is not an invitation to tender. The buyer expects the next notice to be published on 1 December 2027. The planned contract period is 1 April 2028 to 31 March 2037. Its estimated value is £300 million excluding VAT, or £360 million including VAT. The procurement is planned as one lot, with no separate lot structure described. The procurement concerns works and is identified as below the relevant threshold. An amendment records a change to the planned term and value. The record does not set out an expected procedure, submission route or evaluation basis at this stage.

The work is aimed at suppliers whose established capability is in highway construction, road maintenance and related infrastructure delivery. Businesses with experience managing term-based highways services should be well placed to prepare, particularly those able to organise sustained delivery across a long contract period and support a council highways network. The planned lot is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so participation is not presented as limited to large national contractors. Specialist highway contractors may therefore wish to monitor the procurement and consider whether their civil engineering, road maintenance, site delivery and contract-management capabilities fit the eventual requirements. The current planning information gives no further capability, accreditation or experience criteria.
