Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council commissioned carriageway patching and resurfacing works for its autumn road schemes. The work covers the A68 at Bondgate, the A68 at St Augustine’s Way and C180 Parkside, in Darlington. It is highway surface work, involving repairs to the carriageway and resurfacing across these named routes. The council is the buyer, and delivery is in the Darlington area. This is a focused roads-maintenance requirement rather than a general construction project: the specified scope is patching and resurfacing at three road locations.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Tarmac Trading Limited. The council used a selective process to award work under a framework agreement. The single lot is complete; the award is active, and the contract is active. The award date is not provided. The contract was signed on 12 October 2026 and runs from 12 October to 2 November 2026. Its value is £318,342.86 excluding VAT, or £382,011.44 including VAT. The award information identifies highway surface work, but does not state the evaluation criteria or how bids were scored.

This award shows demand from Darlington Borough Council for targeted carriageway patching and resurfacing on its local highway network, delivered through a framework route. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable future requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to carry out highway surface repairs and resurfacing across multiple named road sites, and to deliver the work within a short, defined programme. The selected supplier is a large construction materials and roads business, indicating that a provider with relevant highway works capability and sufficient operational capacity is well placed for this scale of work. The requirement is specifically for carriageway maintenance in Darlington, so experience in general building or unrelated civil engineering would not alone establish a close fit.
