Summary of the contracting process

Herefordshire Council bought resurfacing works for its area, Herefordshire. The procurement is described as “Resurfacing - C/U 2026”; the awarded works are classified as construction work. The available scope does not identify particular roads, surface treatments, quantities or a wider purpose, so the defined requirement is resurfacing rather than a more detailed programme of civil engineering work. The council is the buyer, and the contract covers delivery in Herefordshire. This is a single-lot works procurement, awarded to one supplier. Its route was an award under a framework, rather than a standalone open competition. The contract was awarded to Tarmac Trading Limited, a large construction supplier.

The procurement is complete and the award is active. Herefordshire Council selected Tarmac Trading Limited for the resurfacing works through a selective, below-threshold award under a framework; the call-off was non-competitive. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026, and the award is recorded in the completed procurement; the supplier and contract value are stated separately here as a single award. The contract value is £428,038.97 excluding VAT (£513,646.76 including VAT). The process has one lot, and the award relates to that lot. No evaluation criteria or eligibility conditions are provided in the process information.

This award shows that Herefordshire Council buys resurfacing through a framework call-off, and that the requirement is substantial enough to be delivered by an established, large supplier. A credible competitor for similar work would need to demonstrate the capacity to undertake road resurfacing in Herefordshire and to deliver construction works to the council’s requirements. Being appointed to a relevant framework is commercially important, since this procurement was awarded under one rather than run as a standalone open competition. The published scope gives no specific technical standards, accreditations, equipment requirements or experience thresholds, so these cannot be treated as stated conditions for future work. Suppliers serving this market can use the award as evidence of the buyer’s demand for local resurfacing, while recognising that the winning supplier was a large construction business.
