UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City of Doncaster Council plans to establish a specialist highways surfacing and pavement preservation framework to support its Highway Asset Management Strategy. The works are intended to cover preventative maintenance, carriageway preservation, network renewal and surface treatments, including resurfacing of roads and footpaths. The framework will give the Council access to specialist techniques intended to extend pavement life, improve road network condition, reduce whole-life costs and carbon emissions, and support risk-based asset management. Delivery is in Doncaster, England. This is a single-package programme of highway surface works rather than a purchase of goods or a general consultancy service.

The process is at planning: the Council has set out its intention to procure and is conducting preliminary market engagement to shape the scope and requirements; this is not an invitation to tender. The Council expects to publish the next procurement notice on 23 November 2026. It has scheduled market engagement to conclude on 9 November 2026. The expected procedure and evaluation approach have not been described. The proposed framework is expected to run from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2029, with provision for renewal and a possible maximum end date of 31 January 2031. The stated estimated gross value is £10 million. There is one package, covering the listed highway surfacing and preservation works.

This is likely to suit specialist highways contractors able to deliver preventative pavement maintenance, carriageway preservation, resurfacing and surface treatments, as well as network renewal. Suppliers with practical expertise in specialist pavement-preservation methods may be well placed, particularly where their approach can extend pavement life, improve network condition and support lower whole-life costs and carbon emissions. The Council is seeking input from the market to help define the initial scope and procurement requirements, so contractors with relevant delivery experience can help shape what the eventual framework requires. The intended work calls for the capacity to undertake a programme of highway works for a local authority, but no specific accreditations, technical standards or minimum experience thresholds have yet been stated. Doncaster is the delivery area. The planned framework is a route for specialist contractors to support future works rather than a single isolated resurfacing job.
