UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wirral Council is seeking highway contractors to carry out in-situ recycling patch repairs to asphalt roads in the Wirral area. The technique reuses and treats the existing road material in place, avoiding conventional excavation and planing. It is intended to reduce material disposal and avoid handling tar-bound materials, while creating a uniform repair with a strong thermal bond to help prevent water ingress and early failure. The approach is described as suitable for all asphalt types and offers a faster alternative to traditional repairs. This is highway maintenance construction work (CPV 45233100). The work will be delivered in the Wirral, Merseyside area.

The council invited offers through an open competition under a below-threshold procedure. The procurement reached the tender stage. The deadline for clarification enquiries was 30 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the bid submission deadline was 9 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period is 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029. The estimated value is £875,000 excluding VAT (£1,050,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Bids are assessed on price (50%), quality (40%) and social value (10%). Electronic submission is allowed, with submissions through The Chest procurement portal.

This work is best suited to highway maintenance contractors with the specialist plant, trained crews and operational experience to carry out in-situ recycling patch repairs safely and consistently on asphalt roads. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate that they can prepare and treat existing road surfaces in place, form a durable repair with a sound thermal bond, and manage work efficiently while minimising excavation, waste and disruption. The requirement’s stated applicability across asphalt types may suit contractors experienced in varied road conditions. Bidders should also be prepared to explain the quality of their delivery and the social value they can provide, as these together account for half of the evaluation; price makes up the other half. The multi-year programme calls for sustained capacity to deliver highway maintenance works over the contract period. (The source does not specify particular accreditations.)
