The Council of the Borough of Kirklees · Local authority

In brief

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees has announced plans to buy construction and highways work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £5,500,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 15 October 2026.

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

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 4.5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 16 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £5,500,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

The Council are seeking bids from suitably experienced and qualified contractors to establish a closed framework for the provision and maintenance of traffic management for the Yorkshire Highway Alliance. This includes Traffic Safety & Management for Site Categories 1 to 5, Mobile Traffic Safety and Management, Pedestrian Diversions, Road Closure Diversions, Provision of Design & Drawings, Information Boards, Signs & Cones. It is anticipated that this framework will be for the provision of requirements identified in the framework scope for all Local Authorities across West Yorkshire and for York Council.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
