Highways and Footpaths Surface Dressing

The Council of the City of Wakefield · Local authority

In brief

The Council of the City of Wakefield 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 £200,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 8 years, starting 21 December 2026.

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

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 7 bids per contract for construction contracts in this region (from 275 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 £200,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Wakefield Council is preparing to establish an Open Framework for Surface Dressing of highways and footpaths. The Services will consist of the provision of labour, plant, materials and traffic management to carry out Surface Dressing of Footways and Carriageways within the administrative areas of the members of the Yorkshire Highway Alliance plus any other Local Authority (as defined in the Local Government Act 1972) within the Yorkshire and Humber Region and wholly owned and controlled subsidiary trading companies.

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.
