## Summary

The Colchester Borough Council is initiating a public procurement process for "Thermoplastic Road Markings" within the works industry category. This tender focuses on providing and removing road markings that comply with legal requirements for traffic regulation orders across multiple districts, including Braintree, Colchester, Harlow, Epping Forest, Tendring, and Uttlesford. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 18th March 2022. The contract period is set to commence on 4th April 2022 and is expected to run for 12 months, with an option to extend for up to four additional years. An estimated annual spend of £120,000 is planned, within a total contract value of £500,000. The procurement method used is an open procedure, encouraging participation from a wide range of suppliers.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) in the road marking and maintenance sector. Successful bidders will gain the opportunity to work across various local authorities in Essex, providing a steady workflow and the potential for ongoing collaborations in future projects. Given the need for compliance with specific legal and quality standards, firms with experience in road surface painting and traffic management services are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

Colchester Borough Council, as lead authority for the North Essex Parking Partnership, is seeking a contractor to provide and remove road markings. These must meet all legal requirements to allow enforcement of the relevant traffic regulation orders, such as the Traffic Signs and General Directions 2016. The North Essex Parking Partnership manages on-street traffic regulation orders across Braintree, Colchester, Harlow, Epping Forest, Tendring and Uttlesford Districts and so the contractors must be able to work across all of these areas when required without council officer supervision. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. The initial tender period will be for 12 months from 4th April 2022 to 31st March 2023, with the option to extend for a further 4 years (annually 1x1x1*1) until 31st March 2027. The annul spend does vary dependent on requirements but we estimate an annual spend of PS120,000.00
