## Summary

South Tees Development Corporation, acting through Tees Valley Combined Authority, procured Phase 1 works for improvements to the A66 Tees Dock Road roundabout and access to Tees Dock at Lackenby. The site-preparation works include site clearance, ground investigations, drainage inspections, access modifications, temporary traffic management and preparatory support for utility diversion works. The work is classified as site preparation and falls within the construction works category. Delivery is in the North East of England, around the Tees Dock Road and Lackenby area. The package is part of a wider improvement scheme, with the main works tendered separately under the same procurement package. It is therefore relevant to civil engineering, highways, groundworks, drainage, traffic management and utility-diversion support contractors.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 3 September 2026 to Esh Construction Limited. The awarded value is £95,211.33 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 10 September 2026 to 7 October 2026. It was run as a selective procedure and awarded through a call-off from the NEPO211 framework agreement, Lot 6. The tender submission deadline was 20 August 2026 at 17:00. The contracting authority describes this as Phase 1, with a further award notice planned for the main works tendered as part of the package. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award is useful market evidence for contractors serving major development and transport infrastructure in the Tees Valley. A credible competitor for similar work would need to coordinate several short-duration site activities: clearance, investigations, drainage checks, access alterations, temporary traffic management and enabling support for utility diversions. The requirement favours firms able to mobilise quickly, manage interfaces between highways, groundworks and utilities, and work safely around an operational access route. Relevant experience in roundabout or road-improvement schemes, site investigations, drainage and traffic-management arrangements would strengthen a future qualification. Suppliers should also be able to operate through the NEPO211 framework route, Lot 6, and demonstrate the practical capacity to deliver a defined enabling package before larger main works proceed.
