Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about surface dressing, slurry sealing, micro surfacing, micro asphalt, carriageway preservation, road surface treatment, preventative maintenance surfacing, retread, road surface dressing in the UK public sector.
What does surface dressing involve?
Surface dressing is a highway maintenance treatment that sprays bitumen binder onto a road or footway surface and then applies stone chippings to protect and extend its life. It is one of several treatments covered by highway surface treatment contracts.
Where are surface dressing contracts advertised?
Stotles brings together surface dressing 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. Surface dressing is let as annual programmes or term contracts by highway authorities, or as a surface treatments lot in highways frameworks, with tenders landing over the winter ahead of the summer season.
How do you win surface dressing contracts?
Surface dressing tenders are scored on schedule of rates pricing, treatment design, programme, traffic management and quality. The work depends on dry weather, so capacity in the summer season matters.
What do you need to bid for surface dressing contracts?
Surface dressing contractors are expected to hold National Highway Sector Scheme registration, work to the Specification for Highway Works and set out traffic management to Chapter 8. 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.
Is surface dressing let as single contracts or under frameworks?
Both appear. Some surface dressing programmes are let as standalone contracts for a single road or area. Larger highway authorities also appoint suppliers onto multi-year surfacing frameworks and call off surface dressing schemes from them.
Who buys surface dressing contracts?
Local councils and highway authorities are regular buyers of surface dressing work. Some of it is procured through highway maintenance frameworks that cover a wider range of surface treatments.
How do I find surface dressing contracts before they are formally tendered?
Read annual highway maintenance programmes, road condition surveys, surface treatment plans and framework call-off schedules, which show work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the highway authorities behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
What CPV codes cover surface dressing tenders?
Surface dressing notices carry 45233210 (Surface work for highways), 45233220 (Surface work for roads) and 45233139 (Highway maintenance work).
