## Summary

The Borough Council of Bolton is overseeing the TC005 Framework for Highways Work 2024-2028, which covers construction work for highways. This procurement falls under the industry category of works and is located in the UKD3 region. The framework is divided into four lots: (1) General Civil Engineering Works up to £2.0m, (2) Patching, Re-Surfacing and Surface Treatment Works up to £2.0m, (3) Highway New Works, Structural Maintenance and Associated Works up to £5.0m, and (4) Bridges and Highway Structures Improvement and Maintenance Works up to £3.0m. The procurement stage is currently in the award phase, with the contract actively signed on 20th January 2025.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for various businesses, especially those involved in civil engineering, resurfacing, and structural maintenance projects. The typical scheme values and the significant annual spend across lots make this an attractive proposition for SMEs as well as larger companies actively engaged in highway construction and maintenance. The framework's division into multiple lots allows smaller, specialised firms to compete effectively for specific segments while encouraging large enterprises to engage in comprehensive infrastructure projects. Companies specialising in areas such as minor highway improvements, ducting, drainage, traffic signal installations, and bridgeworks can find lucrative growth potential by securing contracts within this framework.
