Heidelberg Materials UK has resecured a three-year highway maintenance contract with Wirral Borough Council worth around £9m, covering structural carriageway resurfacing across the borough. The renewed agreement follows a competitive tender and continues an established delivery role in the council’s road maintenance programme.
Heidelberg Materials has worked as the council’s main surfacing contractor since 2014, initially through Bam Nuttall and, since 2019, directly with Wirral’s highway team. The new award extends that relationship, giving continuity on methods, supply chain planning and network knowledge across the next phase of resurfacing works.
The renewed contract also keeps lower carbon asphalt within the programme’s delivery approach. Local authority resurfacing work is increasingly being assessed alongside embodied carbon, operational resilience and long-term maintenance performance, and the new term gives Wirral a route to continue reducing material-related emissions within its carriageway programme.
