Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council is seeking contractors to carry out road-marking works across Leeds and the wider Yorkshire Highway Alliance area. The work covers implementing road markings on highways and related surface work. The framework can be used by the alliance’s participating authorities: Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds, North Yorkshire, Wakefield and York councils, as well as other local authorities in the Yorkshire and Humber region. This is a works requirement for firms specialising in highway road markings and associated surfacing. It is structured as a framework for authorities to place orders for their requirements, rather than a single defined works package at one site.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure for a framework agreement. The contract period is set from 14 December 2026 to 13 December 2028, with an option for one further two-year period, ending no later than 13 December 2030. The estimated value is £7.2 million excluding VAT (£8.64 million including VAT). Enquiries were due by 12 noon on 12 November 2026, and tenders by 12 noon on 19 November 2026; an award decision was expected by 24 November 2026. Evaluation is based on quality, with details set out in the Invitation to Tender. Compliant tenderers must meet a minimum 60% threshold on each quality question to be appointed. The successful supplier pays a 1% fee on the award value.

This opportunity suits contractors with the operational capability to deliver road-marking and associated highway surface works for multiple local authorities across Yorkshire and the Humber. Suppliers should be able to meet the quality threshold on every quality question and provide a compliant tender; all tenderers who meet these requirements are appointed to the framework. The framework offers the potential to compete for orders from participating councils, with call-offs made either with or without reopening competition. This structure is best suited to firms able to support a continuing pipeline of highway work and respond to requirements from different authorities. Tenderers should account commercially for the fee payable on award value when pricing their offer. The scope is road markings and related highway surface work, rather than general construction unrelated to highways.
