In plain English
Derby City Council is setting up a framework agreement to hire multiple suppliers for highway maintenance, repairs, and improvements across their road network. This is a large umbrella contract split into 11 specialist lots (e.g., road markings, traffic signals, asphalt supply, equipment hire) worth an estimated £72–£108 million over the full term.
What the buyer wants
• Supply and deliver services across one or more of 11 lots: road markings, traffic systems, temporary traffic management, carriageway maintenance, surface treatments, equipment hire, haulage, asphalt supply, or highways resource support • Carry out both planned maintenance work and emergency reactive repairs as requested • Work compliantly with council procurement rules and framework terms; be ready to bid competitively or accept direct award of work
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This framework is divided into 11 specialist lots; a small tradesperson will only qualify for 1–2 lots maximum (e.g., a haulage operator can bid Lot 9; a road markings contractor can bid Lot 1). Most small businesses lack the turnover, insurance, and accreditations needed for highway-scale work; the estimated £72–£108 million value indicates very large, resource-intensive contracts that often go to established contractors. Being on the framework does not guarantee any work.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
