TD2340 - Framework for Highways Services

The Council is seeking to establish a multi-supplier Highways Framework Agreement to support the delivery of highway maintenance, improvement, construction, specialist services, materials supply, plant hire and associated activities across the highway network and related infrastructure.

The Framework will provide a compliant and flexible route to market for planned and reactive works and services and will be divided into the following 11 lots:

Lot 1 - Road Markings & High Friction Surfacing Lot 2 - Road Restraint Systems Lot 3 - Temporary Traffic Management Lot 4 - Traffic Signals Lot 5 - Multi-Disciplined Lot 6 - Carriageway Maintenance Lot 7 - Carriageway and Footway Surface Treatments Lot 8 - Hire of Equipment (with/without Operators) Lot 9 - Haulage with Driver Lot 10 - Supply of Asphalt Lot 11 - Highways Resource Support

The Framework has an estimated core value of £72 million over its full term. In anticipation of Local Government Reorganisation (LGR), the Council reserves the right to vary the scope, value and volume of services procured through the Framework. Should additional requirements arise as a result of LGR, the total estimated Framework value may increase to a maximum of £108 million.

The values attributed to individual lots are indicative only and do not represent any guarantee of expenditure. Actual spend may vary between lots depending on operational requirements, available funding and any changes arising from LGR.

Call-off contracts may include highway maintenance works, specialist highway services, traffic management, supply of materials, plant and equipment hire, haulage services and resource support. Requirements may range from small-scale reactive works to larger planned maintenance and capital improvement schemes.

Appointment to the Framework does not guarantee any minimum value or volume of work. Call-off contracts may be awarded by direct award and/or further competition in accordance with the Framework terms and procurement documents.

Open opportunity - This means that the contract is currently active, and the buying department is looking for potential suppliers to fulfil the contract.
