Medway Council manages a significant highway network asset with a gross replacement value of approximately £2 billion, comprising:

  • 845km of adopted highway
  • 1,100km (approximately) of adopted footway
  • 27,007 streetlights
  • 406 bridges and retaining walls
  • The Medway Tunnel — a critical asset with a high consequence of failure profile)
  • Approximately 91,000 other highway assets including street furniture

The scale, complexity and critical asset profile of Medway's network, including the Medway Tunnel, makes this a significant and technically demanding network to operate and manage. The current term maintenance contract is delivered by Volker Highways and commenced in August 2017. The contract runs to 31st July 2027, creating a clear procurement programme requirement for the successor contract to be in place in advance of this date, with a likely procurement commencement early Summer 2026.
