Published requirement description

The Council is seeking to establish a multi-supplier Highways Framework Agreement to support the delivery of highway maintenance, improvement, construction, specialist services, materials supply, plant hire and associated activities across the highway network and related infrastructure.

The Framework will provide a compliant and flexible route to market for planned and reactive works and services and will be divided into the following 11 lots:

Lot 1 - Road Markings & High Friction Surfacing

Lot 2 - Road Restraint Systems

Lot 3 - Temporary Traffic Management

Lot 4 - Traffic Signals

Lot 5 - Multi-Disciplined

Lot 6 - Carriageway Maintenance

Lot 7 - Carriageway and Footway Surface Treatments

Lot 8 - Hire of Equipment (with/without Operators)

Lot 9 - Haulage with Driver

Lot 10 - Supply of Asphalt

Lot 11 - Highways Resource Support

The Framework has an estimated core value of £71,550,000 million Ex VAT over its full term. In anticipation of Local Government Reorganisation (LGR), the Council reserves the right to vary the scope, value and volume of services procured through the Framework. Should additional requirements arise as a result of LGR, the total estimated Framework value may increase to a maximum of £107,325,000 million EX VAT.

Stage 1 - Invitation to Participate

This will be the PSQ stage that suppliers complete such as their economic and financial standing and their technical/ professional ability. The Council will also ask scored and weighted questions to arrive at a shortlist of a maximum four highest scoring suppliers for each lot to take to Stage 2.

Stage 2 - Invitation to Submit Final Tenders

Suppliers successful from Stage 1 will be invited to submit their tenders which will consist of their pricing, quality and social value methodologies.

The values attributed to individual lots are indicative only and do not represent any guarantee of expenditure. Actual spend may vary between lots depending on operational requirements, available funding and any changes arising from LGR.

Call-off contracts may include highway maintenance works, specialist highway services, traffic management, supply of materials, plant and equipment hire, haulage services and resource support. Requirements may range from small-scale reactive works to larger planned maintenance and capital improvement schemes.

How this framework works

From the published notice
Type
Closed framework
Call-offs
call-offs may be awarded directly or by further competition
Framework period
4 yrs from 1 May 2027
Published description of the framework

Individual Call off Contracts will be awarded via the Framework in accordance with one of the following procedures Direct Award (Basket of Rates) Direct Award (Ranked Order) Further Competition Framework Providers will not be compelled to bid for all business offered via further competition. It is recognised that not all Call Off Contracts will necessarily suit every Framework Provider because of the type of services / works required. Not all routes above are applicable to all lots Individual Call off Contracts may be of any reasonable duration regardless of when they commenced, i.e., an individual call off contract may outlive the expiry of the Framework Lot itself. However, given the nature of the works being sourced, it is anticipated that the duration of most individual call off contracts will last no longer than one year. The Council intends that all call-off competitions and other framework activities will be managed through its E-Procurement system.

Local Government Reorganisation The Contracting Authority has identified Local Government Reorganisation (“LGR”) as a potential future event which may affect the delivery and/or administration of the Services during the Contract Term. LGR may result in changes to local government structures, administrative boundaries, functions, responsibilities, service delivery arrangements or the identity of the organisation more…responsible for the Services The Contract may therefore require modification as a consequence of LGR. Where permitted by the Procurement Act 2023, such modifications may include consequential changes to the scope, geographical coverage, volumes, service requirements, governance and reporting arrangements, and/or arrangements for the transfer of responsibility for the Services to a successor or reorganised local authority. Any modification will be limited to changes permitted under the Procurement Act 2023, including where applicable Schedule 8, and will not change the overall nature of the Contract. Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) proposals continue to be developed across a number of areas and may result in changes to council structures, service delivery arrangements, responsibilities and geographical coverage during the term of this contract. Whilst the final outcome and implementation arrangements remain subject to government decisions and further local development, it is possible that the effects of LGR could lead to changes in service demand and/or the need to extend provision to additional areas, organisations or client groups. The Authority therefore reserves the right to vary the scope and value of the contract to reflect any future changes arising from LGR. For further information, please refer to the Government's Local Government Reorganisation updates: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/local-government-reorganisation-policy-and-programme-updates The core framework value across all lots is estimated at £72,000,000 (Excluding VAT) based on current known service requirements. Due to the potential impact of the Local Government Reorganisation this value may rise. Therefore, the total contract value may rise to £108,000,000 (Excluding VAT) £129,600,000 (Including VAT). These figures are estimations and due to only being in the early stages of the process the Council cannot give any commitment on these figures but would like to build scope into the Contract should the need arise. Bidders should take this identified risk into account when preparing their Tender and pricing. Innovation and Product Development The Council recognises that products, materials, technologies, techniques and methods of delivery within the scope of this Framework may develop during the Framework Term. The Framework is intended to accommodate appropriate developments and innovations within the existing scope of each Lot. Contractors and suppliers may therefore propose new or improved products, materials, technologies, techniques or solutions where these: Fall within the scope and intended purpose of the relevant Lot; meet or exceed the applicable technical, performance, safety and regulatory requirements; represent an improvement or development of the type of works, products, materials, technology or solutions contemplated by the Framework; do not materially alter the overall nature or scope of the Framework or the relevant Lot; and can be procured through the Framework in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. The Council may consider such developments when undertaking Call-Offs under the Framework, where permitted by the applicable Call-Off procedure. The inclusion of this provision does not guarantee that any innovative product, technology or solution will be purchased by the Council. A contractor/supplier introducing a new or innovative product or solution shall not acquire an exclusive right to supply that product or solution through the Framework. Other contractors/suppliers shall be able to offer equivalent or alternative solutions. These can only be accessed via the use of a further competition.

For further information, please refer to the Government's Local Government Reorganisation updates: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/local-government-reorganisation-policy-and-programme-updates The core framework value across all lots is estimated at £72,000,000 (Excluding VAT) based on current known service requirements. Due to the potential impact of the Local Government Reorganisation this value may rise. Therefore, the total contract value may rise to £108,000,000 (Excluding VAT) £129,600,000 (Including VAT).

Innovation and Product Development The Council recognises that products, materials, technologies, techniques and methods of delivery within the scope of this Framework may develop during the Framework Term. The Framework is intended to accommodate appropriate developments and innovations within the existing scope of each Lot. Contractors and suppliers may therefore propose new or improved products, materials, technologies, techniques or solutions where these: Fall within the scope and intended purpose of the relevant Lot; meet or exceed the applicable technical, performance, safety and regulatory requirements; represent an improvement or development of the type of works, products, materials, technology or solutions contemplated by the Framework; do not materially alter the overall nature or scope of the Framework or the relevant Lot; and can be procured through the Framework in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. The Council may consider such developments when undertaking Call-Offs under the Framework, where permitted by the applicable Call-Off procedure. The inclusion of this provision does not guarantee that any innovative product, technology or solution will be purchased by the Council. A contractor/supplier introducing a new or innovative product or solution shall not acquire an exclusive right to supply that product or solution through the Framework.

How the contest usually goes

Left: this authority. Right: the market where the work is delivered. Bids and award-vs-estimate pairs are per lot, from contested frameworks and DPS only — direct awards (including PA 2023 transparency notices) report one bid by definition and are left out. On Procurement Act 2023 notices the count is the tenders assessed at the final stage, not every submission received; pairs compare like with like (VAT-exclusive, or VAT-inclusive on both sides).

Where this tender’s estimate would land if the usual pattern repeats.

We apply the buyer’s usual movement between estimate and award (or the region’s) to the estimate on this notice.

This notice gives one total for several lots, so we show the percentage but do not turn it into pounds.

A benchmark, not a price to bid.

The middle award in Derby City Council (all categories, n=31 pairs) lands at estimate. Applied to each lot’s own published value in the lot table below — the notice total (£107,325,000) is an envelope for 11 lots and is not converted.
Coverage and what to read with care
  • Each tile explains itself. The on a figure says what it is, how it is counted and which scope this notice’s own record came from (class, division, all categories, or the authority’s 24-month row). The two columns are never blended and nothing is filled from a UK-wide figure; an empty tile means the source published nothing usable. Long form: Methodology.
  • Coverage. Roughly 40 % of notices publish a bid count; about half publish an ITL1 delivery location, so the market column reads the authority’s registered region when the notice has none (labelled). About 30 % of award-vs-estimate pairs are exact matches — the buyer published the award at the estimate. n is on every figure; a thin sample is muted, never hidden.
  • “Match” and “relevance” are model scores from the nightly matcher, not published facts. Find a Tender does not publish who is bidding. Never shown: contact details, payment behaviour, or a recommended price.
