Highways Framework

North Lincolnshire Council · Local authority

In brief

North Lincolnshire Council is looking for suppliers for construction and building maintenance work (Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands).

It is a framework worth up to £80,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 2 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 1 April 2027.

It is split into 3 lots, so a supplier can bid for part of the work.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Bids close at midday, Monday 30 November 2026.
