Summary of the contracting process

Wigan Council is procuring footway slurry sealing works across various locations in the Wigan Borough. The work involves treating and sealing pedestrian footways; it is classified as construction work (CPV 45000000). The council is the buying organisation, and delivery is within Wigan Borough. This is a single-lot works requirement, rather than a collection of separately described services or goods. The scope published is concise, so suppliers should check the procurement requirements for the precise locations, technical specification and quantities before deciding whether their surfacing and footway maintenance capability fits.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition under a below-threshold procedure. The process reached the tender stage. The deadline for enquiries was 28 October 2026 at 12:00, and the deadline for tenders was 4 November 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 1 May to 30 September 2027. The estimated value is £1,000,000 excluding VAT (£1,200,000 including VAT). There is one lot, and tenders are evaluated on price, weighted at 60%, and quality and social value, weighted at 40%. Electronic submission is allowed, and an electronic auction is part of the procedure.

This requirement is suited to small and medium-sized enterprises, making it potentially relevant to specialist local road and footway contractors as well as larger surfacing firms. Suppliers will need practical capability in slurry sealing pedestrian footways and the capacity to deliver works across multiple locations in the borough during the stated contract period. The quality and social value element means bids are assessed on more than price alone, so suppliers should be able to explain the quality of their proposed delivery and their social value contribution. The published scope does not set out specific accreditations, minimum experience or staffing requirements; firms should verify the detailed procurement requirements before committing bid resources.
