## Summary

Manchester City Council is facilitating the procurement process for the TC056 - Highways Support Framework, aimed at augmenting its Highways Maintenance Service with Minor Civil Engineering works. This procurement initiative falls under the civil engineering industry category, specifically targeting engineering construction works. The framework covers the 33 wards within Manchester, UKD3 region. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, with the contract valued at £20 million, already signed on 9th June 2025. This framework agreement employs an open procedure, allowing for direct awards based on price and availability criteria and may also include further competition among framework suppliers if the direct award is not feasible. The contract is set to commence on 16th June 2025, with submissions requiring an electronic process via the Chest portal by 11 am on 7th March 2025.

The TC056 - Highways Support Framework presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in civil construction and engineering, specifically those specialising in highway maintenance and minor civil engineering works such as kerbing, signing, and lining. With the Council reserving the right not to award the framework, businesses that proactively contribute to the economic and social regeneration of Manchester and adhere to social and environmental considerations are likely to be favoured. The procurement process, designed to enhance agility in awarding contracts, allows small to medium-sized enterprises, such as Argyle North West Construction Limited, Dowhigh Ltd, J Hopkins (Contractors) Limited, and Rosgal Limited, to compete effectively. Successful bidders are expected to help accelerate the delivery of crucial infrastructure projects, thereby boosting their service offerings and regional impact.
