Summary of the contracting process

Herefordshire Council procured resurfacing works for its A/B 2026 programme. The requirement is road construction work to renew or improve road surfaces in Herefordshire. The award covers one lot, but the published scope does not describe particular roads, surface treatments, quantities or technical specifications. This is a council highways works requirement rather than a goods or consultancy purchase. The selected supplier is a major construction materials and infrastructure business, indicating that the work was delivered through an established contractor. The requirement is specific to resurfacing for Herefordshire Council; businesses focused on road surfacing and associated civil engineering works are the relevant market.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Herefordshire Council selected Tarmac Trading Limited for the single lot through a selective route, making an award under a framework; the process was below the applicable threshold and the call-off was non-competitive. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £896,142.92 excluding VAT, or £1,075,371.50 including VAT. The award is for works in Herefordshire. The available process details identify the framework route and the awarded supplier, but do not set out evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements. The contract was executed by the selected supplier and the council; no separate award date is provided.

This award demonstrates demand from Herefordshire Council for a substantial, time-limited road resurfacing programme delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need the capacity to plan and execute multiple highway surfacing works in Herefordshire, with reliable access to the materials, plant, workforce and project management needed to deliver road construction safely and to specification. Tarmac Trading Limited’s selection shows that an established, large-scale supplier was considered suitable for this contract. The published scope does not identify particular surfacing methods, technical standards, accreditations or prior-experience thresholds, so these should not be treated as confirmed requirements. Suppliers specialising in highways resurfacing and civil engineering are the closest fit; firms without delivery capacity for a council-scale works programme are less well placed.
