## Summary

Colchester Borough Council is seeking contractors to carry out significant repairs to hard-surfaced areas of unadopted highways within the Colchester borough. The work is road and highway surface repair and construction, including repairs to public hard-surface areas. The stated delivery area is Colchester, in the East of England. This is a works contract for suppliers able to undertake highway surface works for the council.

The council invited offers through an open procedure. The tender deadline set was 21 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period runs from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029. The estimated contract value is between £1 million and £5 million. The procurement is presented as a single requirement, with no lots described. The notice does not state an enquiry deadline or an evaluation basis.

This opportunity is suited to established roadworks and highway contractors able to deliver significant repairs across public hard-surfaced areas. Suppliers should be equipped to carry out surface repair and construction work at a scale consistent with a borough-wide requirement and a multi-year contract. The council’s suitability assessment marks the opportunity as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, so it is principally relevant to larger commercial contractors with the workforce, plant and operational capacity to manage substantial highway works. The published requirement gives no particular accreditation or prior-experience threshold; businesses should assess their ability to demonstrate relevant delivery capability through the tender process.
