## Summary

Herefordshire Council procured construction work for the SD Prep 2026 requirement, delivered in Herefordshire. The award is classified as construction work, but the published description gives no further breakdown of the work or its purpose. The council was the buyer, and Tarmac Trading Limited was selected to carry out the works. This is a local-authority construction requirement rather than a supply of goods or a standalone professional service. The procurement was organised as one lot. The available scope therefore establishes the broad construction category and delivery area, but does not identify specific trades, materials, sites or work packages that a specialist contractor could use to assess technical fit.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Tarmac Trading Limited. The council used a selective route, with the award made under a framework and without a competitive call-off. The single lot has an awarded contract value of £431,019.56 excluding VAT (£517,223.47 including VAT). The contract period runs from 15 June 2026 to 8 September 2026, and the contract was signed on 15 June 2026. The procurement data gives no award date or evaluation criteria, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be described beyond the framework route. The recorded procurement classification is works, and the process was below the applicable threshold.

For firms tracking Herefordshire Council’s construction demand, this award shows the council used an existing framework to place a short, single-lot works contract with a large construction materials and trading supplier. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to be eligible to deliver through the relevant framework and able to mobilise construction capability in Herefordshire. The award identifies broad construction work but does not define the trades, technical specification, delivery sites or specialist accreditations, so it does not establish a narrower capability profile. Suppliers with a track record of delivering council construction work through framework call-offs, and capacity to execute a discrete project, are the closest commercial comparators. The contract demonstrates buyer demand at a substantial project scale, without indicating a particular construction specialism or evaluation preference.
