## Summary

Rotherham Borough Council is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process concerning the supply of Asphalt Road Surfacing Materials & Recovered Waste Products. The contract aims to support the borough’s highway repairs and maintenance efforts. This procurement is categorised under the goods industry with additional services involved and takes place regionally within the United Kingdom, specifically in the UKE31 region. A market engagement opportunity is open until 26th September 2025, paving the way for suppliers to provide data and insights into the market. This engagement is an entry point for suppliers preparing for the official tender, which will be announced in a subsequent notice expected on 1st October 2025.

Businesses specialising in the supply of bitumen, asphalt, and waste-related services will find significant growth opportunities through this tender. Participating in the market engagement process allows suppliers to influence the tender specifications, ultimately increasing their chances of securing a contract when the tenders become live. Companies offering innovative recycling services for waste products, alongside traditional materials used in road surfacing, are particularly well-suited to gain a competitive edge. This opportunity provides a framework agreement, meaning successful suppliers could engage in long-term contracts, substantially boosting their project portfolios.

## Notice

The purpose of this market engagement exercise is to gain information about the current market as a whole, the position of relevant suppliers within it and also any potential barriers that may prevent participation. We will use this information to inform the writing of the tender in such a way to ensure maximum competition and ultimately a robust, best value contract. The Authority has a requirement to carry out repairs and maintenance to highways throughout the borough. This procurement shall cover the supply and delivery of the Asphalt products required to carry out these repairs and maintenance works. Lot 2 of the contract will include the recycling of waste products arising from the highways improvement schemes (planings). The material will be transported to a named site for testing and recycling. The tonnage of this product is expected to be in the region of 8000 per annum. It is unclear at this time if Lot 2 will be awarded to one or multiple suppliers and this decision will be made upon receipt of the information gathered via this market engagement exercise. Please note, this is a market engagement notice only, to gather information to inform the upcoming tender. A tender notice (UK4) will be issued when the procurement is live, it is at this point that you will be able to register your interest and access the documents
