## Summary

The Metropolitan Borough of Bury has initiated a tender process for a comprehensive Highways Works Framework with an open procedure. The framework encompasses multiple lots, including highway construction, civil engineering, and other related services like road marking and pavement testing, with an estimated value of £168,000,000 GBP. Key dates include the tender period ending on 27 February 2026, with inquiries closing on 21 February 2026, and the award period concluding on 2 April 2026. This active tender is focused on sub-central public authority procurement within the UKD37 region, targeting a broad spectrum of highway-related works and maintenance.

Business opportunities abound with this tender, as the authority plans to appoint up to three suppliers per lot, thereby enabling SMEs and large enterprises involved in sectors such as civil engineering, road maintenance, and street lighting to participate. This framework offers potential growth for companies specializing in minor to major construction works, with projects ranging from £1,000 to over £10 million GBP. Particularly, businesses with capabilities in areas such as reactive maintenance, anti-skid and lining work, or LED street lighting upgrades may find lucrative opportunities under this procurement. The tender's open and competitive nature ensures ample opportunity for various organisations to engage and potentially expand their service offerings within this publicly funded framework.
