This process involves an open procedure to establish a framework agreement covering asphalt surfacing works across several regions including Belfast South, Coleraine & Limavady, Dungannon, and Down. Each lot is valued at between £50k and £750k, with supplementary project lots valued up to £5m. The framework aims to manage an overall budget of £150m, extendable to £180.25m. Key contract dates are set around mid-2026, with related commitments proposed to end in mid-2030 or beyond, pending extensions. The award stage of the process was completed in May 2026, as detailed in the most recent updates to the contract documents. This procurement presents significant prospects for SMEs and larger enterprises specialising in civil engineering and construction works. The framework allows for multiple concurrent projects and offers substantial long-term business growth opportunities due to its expansive scope and financial scale. With provisions supporting both direct lot-specific contracts and overarching projects across Northern Ireland, businesses in construction, road services, and temporary traffic management can significantly benefit. Additionally, firms focusing on sustainable practices and innovative road maintenance solutions may have an edge, given the strategic emphasis on environmental and regulatory compliance. ## Notice This notice replaces the previously published UK6 Contract Award Notices (Notice Identifiers: 2026/S 000-046240 & 2026/S 000-047985) to reflect an updated standstill period end date of 10 June 2026 and correct the reference to the type of framework to be established.
