## Summary

Liverpool City Council has completed the procurement process for the Highways Planned Works Framework, which aims to appoint multiple suppliers to deliver construction work for highways and roads in the region denoted as UKD72. This framework, divided into two lots, covers projects ranging from up to £1.5m to those exceeding £1.5m. The procurement method involved a selective, restricted procedure, and the process began with pre-market engagement in April 2024. The framework is designed to support Liverpool City Council's vision for green and sustainable transit routes, including green bus routes and active travel corridors. The notice, dated 17 September 2025, marks the award of the contracts to several suppliers, indicating the completion stage of this procurement initiative.

This framework offers substantial opportunities for both small and medium enterprises as well as larger organisations with interests in infrastructure development and civil engineering. With a significant budget allocation totaling £850 million, there are ample prospects for companies specialising in highway construction, road maintenance, and infrastructure improvement programmes. The framework allows businesses to engage in projects across different value bands, thereby accommodating diverse capabilities and scales, from local SMEs like HUYTON ASPHALT CIVILS LTD and DOWHIGH LIMITED to larger entities such as JOHN SISK & SON LIMITED. Companies involved can leverage this engagement to bolster their portfolios, expand their regional presence, and contribute to the progressive infrastructure goals set by the Liverpool City Council.
