The scheme covers carriageway inlay resurfacing, reconstruction of speed tables and humps, adjustment or replacement of ironwork, new road markings and pedestrian delineation studs, and installation of traffic-signal detector loops. The contractor is also responsible for liaising with stakeholders and the public and providing traffic management. This is a road maintenance and resurfacing works contract (CPV 45233000), focused on renewing the local highway network. Delivery is in Blackburn, Lancashire, across roads including Accrington Road and Audley Road, Bay Street, Preston New Road and Tower Road. The procurement is complete and was run as an open competition. Bids closed at noon on 30 January 2026, and the contract was awarded to Tarmac Trading Limited on 10 March 2026. The awarded value is £943,126.76. The contract period runs from 16 March to 16 May 2026. The published information describes one scheme rather than separate lots. Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council identified the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award information confirms the selected supplier and contract value; no evaluation weighting or scoring basis is stated in the available procurement details. For suppliers considering comparable future work for Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council, this award demonstrates demand for a coordinated package of local highway renewal rather than surfacing alone. A credible competitor would need the practical capability to deliver roadworks across multiple urban sites, manage traffic safely around live roads, and coordinate the associated highway activities and public-facing liaison. The scale points to a requirement for sufficient people, plant and delivery management to complete a substantial, multi-site scheme within a short programme. The council marked the work as suitable for SMEs, suggesting smaller firms may be relevant competitors where they can demonstrate the necessary delivery capacity, either directly or through suitable partners. The successful supplier was a large construction and materials business. ## Notice This Scheme will cover the resurfacing of highways on: * Accrington Road/ Audley Road, Blackburn * Bay Street, Blackburn * Brunswick Street, Blackburn * Canterbury Street, Blackburn * Culshaw Street, Blackburn * Galligreaves Street, Blackburn * Grizedale Avenue, Blackburn * Harrison Street, Blackburn * Hope Terrace, Blackburn * Livesey Branch Road, Blackburn * Newington Avenue, Blackburn * Pickering Fold, Blackburn * Preston New Road, Blackburn * Preston Old Road, Blackburn * Primrose Bank Blackburn * St Heliers Close, Blackburn * St Marys Close, Blackburn * Tower Road, Blackburn And will encompass the following works: * Carriageway inlay resurfacing; * Reconstruction of speed tables/humps * Adjustment and/or replacement of ironwork; * Replacement of road markings; * Replacement of pedestrian delineation studs; * Installation of traffic signal detector loops * Liaison with stakeholders and the public; * Traffic management. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fe716e85-2df7-43fb-bfa4-22a0cb104d02 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 10 Mar 2026 | | Contract period | 16 Mar 2026 - 16 May 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £943,126 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £943,126 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Blackburn with Darwen | | Locality | BLACKBURN | | Postcode area | Blackburn | | Postcode | BB1 7DY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD41 Blackburn with Darwen | | Local authority | Blackburn with Darwen | | Electoral ward | Blackburn Central | | Westminster constituency | Blackburn | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | Tarmac Trading Limited | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45233000 - Construction, foundation and surface works for highways, roads ## Release History - 28 Sep 2026 at 11:34 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fe716e85-2df7-43fb-bfa4-22a0cb104d02 - 28 Sep 2026 at 11:32 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ea5659ef-1cdc-4f32-a203-d2f6752e56ce ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fe716e85-2df7-43fb-bfa4-22a0cb104d02 28th September 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ea5659ef-1cdc-4f32-a203-d2f6752e56ce 28th September 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.blackburn.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
