Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council has tendered a new highways maintenance framework valued at up to £54m.
Running for a maximum of four years from 30 September 2026 to 29 September 2030, the council has included the option to then extend its contracts with the top-ranked bidder on each lot for up to 2 years.
The contract has been split into eight lots:
- Lot 1: Resurfacing
- Lot 2: Minor civils
- Lot 3: Drainage
- Lot 4: Propriety treatments
- Lot 5: Bridges, structures and barriers
- Lot 6: Lining
- Lot 7: Street lighting and signage
- Lot 8: Traffic management
Those wishing to enquire must do so by 20 April 2026, with requests to participate due by 27 April.
The council plans to use a competitive flexible procedure, split into two stages, to appoint suppliers. During the first stage, it will evaluate the enquiries and then invite a maximum of six suppliers per lot to submit formal tenders.
In stage two, it will then evaluate the tenders and invite the top three scoring suppliers for each lot to join the framework.
The successful suppliers are expected to be announced by 18 August 2026.
