UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation bought road resurfacing works: retarmacking of an existing road surface. The requirement was managed by UK Shared Business Services Ltd, acting as its shared service provider. The awarded work was classified as resurfacing, rather than a broader road construction project. No delivery location is identified in the procurement details, so the location of the road cannot be established from the stated scope. The procurement was organised as a single lot and concerned works for the buyer, UK Research and Innovation. This is a focused building and civil engineering requirement for a supplier able to prepare and resurface a road, rather than a supply-only contract or a general maintenance service.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. UK Research and Innovation used a below-threshold limited competition, and DH Building Services (Oxford) Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 20 October 2026, with a period from 21 to 27 October 2026. Its value is £39,800 excluding VAT and £47,760 including VAT. The award is recorded as active; no separate award date or evaluation criteria are stated. The process description says it followed a limited competition procurement exercise. The requirement was for retarmacking of a road surface, classified as resurfacing works. The contract was awarded to one supplier, and no split of the work between suppliers or lots is recorded.

This award shows UK Research and Innovation buying a defined, small-scale road resurfacing package through limited competition below the public procurement threshold. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need practical road-surfacing capability, the workforce and equipment to complete a focused retarmacking job, and the ability to deliver within a short programme. Experience preparing and resurfacing existing road surfaces would be directly relevant. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized business, demonstrating that a smaller contractor was able to deliver the requirement. The buyer’s need here is specifically road-surface work; general building-services experience alone would not establish a close fit without relevant resurfacing capability. The procurement does not set out particular accreditations or named technical standards.
