Paving and Asphalting Tenders and Contracts

Paving and asphalting tenders cover the laying, resurfacing and repair of pavements, footways, car parks, patios and other hard-standing surfaces, carriageway resurfacing, asphalt repairs and the supply of asphalt for highway works.

Stotles brings together paving and asphalting tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Paving and asphalting is often one lot within highways surfacing or estate repairs frameworks, and councils call off resurfacing from regional highways frameworks.

Paving and asphalting tenders are scored on schedule of rates pricing, programme, traffic management, quality and safety record. Highways frameworks run for several years, so a framework place opens up repeat call-offs.

Highway surfacing must meet the Specification for Highway Works, operatives need street works qualifications under the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991, and site work brings duties under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar contracts at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Some notices are standalone paving or asphalting tenders, including asphalt supply contracts divided into lots by material. Others form a single lot within a larger estate repairs, highway surfacing or grounds maintenance framework, or a short measured term surfacing contract.

Councils, highway authorities and housing associations commission this work as part of estate maintenance, highway maintenance, public realm schemes and school site upgrades.

Read highway maintenance programmes, annual resurfacing plans, car park investment plans and housing estate improvement budgets, which list the surfaces due for work. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
