## Summary

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council procured road construction works to trial penetrative surface-preservation treatment on selected roads across its Stockton-on-Tees road network. The treatment is intended to extend the service life of asphalt surfaces by slowing their ageing, providing an alternative to conventional resurfacing. The council expected the approach to reduce maintenance spending, particularly if future funding is constrained, while also reducing disruption for local businesses and residents because treated roads should require shorter closures than resurfacing schemes. The requirement included associated road-surfacing materials. This is a highways maintenance and road-surface preservation opportunity for contractors experienced in applying treatments to asphalt road networks, rather than a general construction or new-road project.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage. It used a limited direct-award route from the NEPO210 Highways Surfacing framework, Lot 17 for penetrative surface preservation, without prior publication of a competition notice. Colas Ltd was the selected supplier and the award is recorded as active. The contract value is £48,000 (GBP), and the contract was signed on 4 July 2026. Price was the stated award criterion, with one bid recorded for the lot. The lot itself is recorded as cancelled, while the related award remains active, so the published outcome contains this status distinction. The contracting authority was Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council; the process was justified as a direct award from the existing highways surfacing framework.

This procurement indicates demand from Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council for practical alternatives to full road resurfacing, particularly treatments that preserve asphalt, extend road life and reduce maintenance intervention. A credible competitor for similar requirements would need specialist highways surfacing capability, experience selecting and applying penetrative preservation treatments, and the operational capacity to work across a local-authority road network. It would also need to supply or manage the relevant road-surfacing materials and plan works that minimise road closures and disruption to businesses and residents. The route used here shows the importance of access to the relevant highways surfacing framework and the ability to compete primarily on price. Colas Ltd, the awarded supplier, is recorded as an SME, indicating that this scale of requirement can suit smaller specialist contractors.

## Notice

Trial project through a Direct award from a framework. The purpose of applying a "preservation treatment" to selected roads of the Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council network is to extend their service life. The treatment resolution is to slow down the ageing process of the treated asphalt surface course thus significantly reducing the amount of funds Stockton Council needs to spend on maintenance works. The option of applying a "preservation treatment" would provide the Council with an alternative solution to resurfacing. The "preservation treatment" would be cheaper offer than resurfacing which would be beneficial if funding became restricted or was not available. This measure would also be less impactful to local businesses and residents as the process would require the affected roads to be closed for a shorter period of time than for a resurfacing scheme.
