What changed

Via East Midlands has announced the award of a new Surfacing Delivery Partnership Contract to VIA EAST MIDLANDS LIMITED. This notice, published on March 5, 2026, details the establishment of a new contract for highway surfacing schemes, including surface treatments and civil engineering delivery. The contract will involve two suppliers and is structured under an NEC4 Term Services arrangement, with potential for three-year agreements and one-year extensions. It aims to foster technical excellence, efficiency, and cooperative behaviours across various highway surfacing disciplines, promoting a strategic and collaborative approach.

This award signifies a shift towards a more integrated service delivery model for highway surfacing in the East Midlands. While this specific notice is an award, the underlying procurement process would have required potential contractors to demonstrate capabilities in technical excellence, efficiency, and collaborative working. Companies involved in highway surfacing and related civil engineering works should note the emphasis on a 'one-team' approach, joint engagement, and a low-carbon operating model. The performance management framework incentivizes quality and safety, with potential contract extensions linked to performance.

Description

Via East Midlands delivers sustainable highways services across the East Midlands and operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Nottinghamshire County Council. Via East Midlands holds several existing framework agreements for highway surfacing, surface treatments, and civil engineering delivery, which are nearing completion. The scope of these contracts involves high-profile aspects of highway service delivery that are of considerable public importance and are vital to delivering for the people of Nottinghamshire.

Via East Midlands plans to establish a new supplier contract for highway surfacing schemes with two suppliers, as part of a new Highway Surfacing Delivery Partnership Contract. The new contract will include three-year agreements with two possible one-year extensions, following an NEC4 Term Services arrangement.

Via East Midlands is seeking to collaborate with two highway surfacing contractors that are suitable for delivering technical excellence, efficiency, and cooperative behaviours across carriageway resurfacing, reconstruction, recycling, ironwork adjustment, and related work, including road marking and road studs.

The new Surfacing Delivery Partnership Contract will encourage a more strategic and collaborative approach to highway service delivery and value for money. This strategy will promote increased joint engagement, support Early Contractor Involvement, and enable a low-carbon circular economy operating model.

The new contract will require contractors to possess the technical capability and local capacity to consistently improve quality and safety standards across all highway surfacing disciplines. The new contract will feature a performance management framework that incentivises and rewards a one-team approach and excellent highway service delivery by linking work scope share and potential contract extensions.

Via East Midlands aims to collaborate with Surfacing Delivery Partnership Partners willing to invest in our area to foster regional economic growth. The contractors we select will utilise innovative materials, products, processes, and technologies to help Via East Midlands achieve regional economic development, social value, and environmental objectives
