Summary of the contracting process

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council procured a construction partner for the Thornaby to Stockton Town Centre Cycleway project. The work supports sustainable travel, better connectivity and healthier communities, and contributes to the Tees Valley Combined Authority Strategic Transport Plan and the Council’s Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan. The initial requirement covers early contractor involvement and contract pricing services for the cycleway, with the project potentially progressing to construction. The route runs between Thornaby and Stockton town centre. This is civil engineering and cycle path construction work, rather than a supply-only contract.

The procurement has been awarded to Esh Construction Ltd, and the contract is active. It was a further competition through the NEPO211 Civil Engineering and Infrastructure Works Framework, using a limited procedure without a separate public call for competition. The contract was signed on 6 October 2026 and has a recorded value of £87,070. The procurement was structured in two stages: Stage 1 covers early contractor involvement and contract pricing; progression to Stage 2 construction depends on successful completion of Stage 1 and agreement on the construction sum, programme, method and risk allocation. Evaluation was weighted 60% quality, 30% price and 10% social value.

For future cycleway work of this kind, a credible competitor would need civil engineering and infrastructure capability, including the ability to contribute to construction planning and pricing before delivery. The two-stage approach favours a contractor able to work with the Council on the construction sum, programme, methodology and allocation of risk, as well as undertake the works if the project progresses. Quality carried the greatest evaluation weight, with social value also assessed alongside price, so suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate strong delivery quality and relevant social value commitments, not just competitive pricing. The project shows demand from Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council for cycleway infrastructure that supports sustainable travel and local connectivity.
