This contract involves extensive engineering and construction works, including highway improvements, infrastructure works, drainage, and public realm enhancements, across various locations such as the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and the United Kingdom. The procurement employed a restricted procedure, with the contract period set from 1st March 2025 to 28th February 2029. Key dates in this process included the award date on 22nd January 2025, and the tender period ending on 3rd June 2024. The industry category is primarily engineering works and construction services, with an emphasis on highways and related infrastructure. This tender offers significant opportunities for large-scale civil engineering firms, particularly those specialising in highways, road construction, and related infrastructure projects. The framework provides a platform for suppliers to engage in multi-faceted infrastructure development over a four-year span, enabling firms to establish and develop significant contracts with local governments. However, it is not explicitly suited for SMEs or voluntary, community, and social enterprises, which may find the project's scope and requirements challenging. Successful bidders include established companies like Breheny Civil Engineering, Henderson & Taylor, and Morgan Sindall, all of whom could leverage this framework to strengthen their portfolios and expand their operations across multiple regions. These opportunities facilitate growth not only in revenue but also in expertise and service diversification within the industry. ## Notice Central Bedfordshire Council, on behalf of the Eastern Highways Alliance, is seeking to procure a framework of Contractors to undertake highway works to cover structural work, surfacing, road works and capital schemes for highways. Typical schemes may involve, but not exclusively, highway improvements, highway infrastructure works (including bridges, subways, culverts and retaining walls), public realm works (town centre enhancements), drainage improvements, canal works and other infrastructure works such as waste management facilities. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/31624604-0c2e-429c-b689-ba5f2e657c1a | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Nov 2025 | | Submission deadline | 3 Jun 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 22 Jan 2025 | | Contract period | 1 Mar 2025 - 28 Feb 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | 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 | CENTRAL BEDFORDSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | SHEFFORD | | Post town | Stevenage | | Postcode | SG17 5TQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH25 Central Bedfordshire | | Local authority | Central Bedfordshire | | Electoral ward | Shefford | | Westminster constituency | Hitchin | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 9 | | Supplier names | BREHENY CIVIL ENGINEERING; HENDERSON & TAYLOR (PUBLIC WORKS; JACKSON CIVIL ENGINEERING GROUP; MILESTONE INFRASTRUCTURE; MORGAN SINDALL; OCTAVIUS INFRASTRUCTURE; TARMAC TRADING; TAYLOR WOODROW INFRASTRUCTURE; WINVIC CONSTRUCTION | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 45 - Construction work - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 34929000 - Highway materials - 45200000 - Works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work - 45220000 - Engineering works and construction works - 45233000 - Construction, foundation and surface works for highways, roads - 45233100 - Construction work for highways, roads - 45233130 - Construction work for highways - 45233131 - Construction work for elevated highways - 45233139 - Highway maintenance work - 45233210 - Surface work for highways - 45233300 - Foundation work for highways, roads, streets and footpaths - 45233310 - Foundation work for highways - 71300000 - Engineering services - 71311100 - Civil engineering support services - 71311220 - Highways engineering services - 71311230 - Railway engineering services - 71330000 - Miscellaneous engineering services - 71336000 - Engineering support services ## Release History - 24 Nov 2025 at 13:09 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/31624604-0c2e-429c-b689-ba5f2e657c1a - 24 Nov 2025 at 13:09 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/31624604-0c2e-429c-b689-ba5f2e657c1a - 7 Apr 2025 at 14:33 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/31624604-0c2e-429c-b689-ba5f2e657c1a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/31624604-0c2e-429c-b689-ba5f2e657c1a 24th November 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
