Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council commissioned road resurfacing and partial reconstruction on the southern end of Freiston Road in Boston, between Vauxhall Road and Willoughby Road. The works also cover road markings. This is a local highway construction project focused on restoring and improving an existing carriageway, rather than building a new road. The council is the buyer, and delivery is in Boston, Lincolnshire. The requirement is a single package of road works under one lot, covering the specified road section and associated markings.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Thomas Bow Limited. The council used a selective procedure to award the work through a framework agreement; the competition was conducted among framework suppliers. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026 and runs from 3 to 17 August 2026. Its value is £323,546.91 excluding VAT, or £388,256.29 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation criteria and supplier-specific eligibility requirements are not set out in the published process information. The procurement was divided into one lot, covering the Freiston Road works as a single package.

For suppliers of highway maintenance and civil engineering works, this award demonstrates Lincolnshire County Council’s demand for targeted carriageway resurfacing and partial reconstruction, with road markings included in the same delivery package. A credible competitor would need the capability to assess and rebuild sections of existing road, coordinate resurfacing with traffic management and complete road marking as part of an integrated job. The successful supplier was Thomas Bow Limited, an SME, showing that this package was delivered by a smaller supplier rather than necessarily requiring a major national contractor. The work was awarded through a framework route, so suppliers seeking comparable council work would need relevant framework access as well as practical experience delivering short, geographically specific highway schemes.
