Highway Contracts and Tenders

See open highway tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.

Highway procurement covers term maintenance contracts for local roads, carriageway resurfacing and pothole repair, road markings, signs and guardrails, and street lighting maintenance. Structures work is a further strand, from bridge inspections to bridge replacement, alongside highways design and consultancy frameworks.

Highway work is mostly let as multi-year term contracts and lotted frameworks, with resurfacing called off from NEPO's highways surfacing and South East and Mid Wales highways frameworks, and councils run market engagement ahead of retender. County councils, unitary authorities, London boroughs and National Highways are among the buyers, and town councils tender street lighting maintenance.

  • What does highway and road maintenance procurement cover?

    Term maintenance contracts for local roads sit alongside resurfacing and pothole repair programmes, street lighting maintenance, drainage and bridge structures work, and the framework agreements National Highways and local highway authorities use for planned and reactive works on the strategic and local road network.

  • What CPV codes cover highway and road maintenance work?

    The core codes are 45233139 (Highway maintenance work) and 45233000 (Construction, foundation and surface works for highways, roads), alongside narrower codes for road maintenance works, roadworks, and street lighting maintenance that show up across the same notices.

  • How long do highway maintenance contracts typically run?

    Long. West Berkshire Council's current highways term maintenance contract is a multi-year term contract, and terms of that shape are the norm rather than the exception: authorities retender the whole service in one contract rather than year by year.

  • Are highway works procured through frameworks?

    Yes, regularly. London Borough of Newham's Highways Works Contract established a framework split into a reactive maintenance lot and a planned maintenance lot for highways and street lighting work, and that lotted structure is typical of how councils package highway framework agreements.

  • Which frameworks are used to buy highway works and services in the UK public sector?

    NEPO's Highways Surfacing framework is used by councils such as Northumberland, Stockton-on-Tees, Middlesbrough and Redcar and Cleveland for carriageway resurfacing, micro asphalt, grouted macadam and surface preservation treatments, often by direct award.

    NEPO's Support Services for the Development of the Built Environment framework covers engineering consultancy, and councils call off from it for bridge replacement design, highway structure assessments and rail bridge inspections.

    The South East and Mid Wales Highways framework, set up by the County Council of the City and County of Cardiff, is used by Bridgend County Borough Council through further competition for pedestrian crossings, active travel routes and bridge replacement.

  • How do I find highway contracts before they are formally tendered?

    Read environment and open space strategies, grounds and highways maintenance plans, capital schemes and expiry dates for existing contracts, which show highway work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
