Summary of the contracting process

Wigan Council is buying carriageway micro-asphalt surfacing and pre-patching works at various locations across the Wigan Borough. The work involves preparing and repairing road surfaces before applying a micro-asphalt treatment, as part of the council’s carriageway maintenance programme. This is a road construction and maintenance contract, rather than a supply-only opportunity. The stated delivery area is Wigan Borough, so the work is relevant to contractors able to undertake highway surface preparation, patching and micro-asphalt surfacing across multiple local sites.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition under the below-threshold procedure. The enquiry deadline was 28 October 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline 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). This is a single-lot procurement. Evaluation gives 60% weighting to price and 40% to quality and social value. Electronic tender submission is permitted through The Chest. An electronic auction is part of the process.

This opportunity suits highway maintenance and surfacing contractors with the capability to deliver micro-asphalt works and pre-patching across multiple carriageway locations. The council indicates that the contract is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, making it relevant to SMEs with the necessary roadworks expertise and operational capacity. Suppliers should be able to plan and mobilise crews, materials and equipment for a concentrated programme of works across the Wigan Borough. The quality and social value element of the evaluation means bidders should be prepared to demonstrate the strength of their proposed delivery approach and the social value they can provide, alongside competitive pricing. The opportunity is most relevant to firms experienced in maintaining local road networks.
