The construction works framework covers 10 different specialisms of work, is split into 15 separate lots and will run for four years.
The framework covers a range of activities that include renewal work to roads and bridges, and improvement schemes on the Highways England road network.
A new style framework, which starts on 1st April 2017, is part of the asset delivery contracts that sees Highways England directly managing both routine maintenance and the delivery of capital renewal and improvement schemes. This marks a change from previous way of working, bringing the management of key functions in-house.
The first of these types of contracts began operation in the East Midland’s region in July 2016.
The new framework contractors will work alongside the maintenance & response and design services contractors that were announced for Cumbria/North Lancashire (Area 13) and the northeast of England (Area 14) in December 2016. As previously reported, Kier Highways has maintenance responsibility in Area 13 and CH2M Costain Joint Venture has Area 14. Amey OW has the design service contract in both regions.
