Construction work

Tender description

Highways England continues to roll out the asset delivery model to its operational areas. There is a requirement to deliver a range of renewal, improvement and selected small scheme construction works on the strategic road network in areas utilising specialist contractors working collaboratively with Highways England to deliver these works. It is envisaged that this framework will straddle two Road Investment Strategy (RIS) periods (RIS 2 and RIS 3) enabling a smooth transition between them. Works for schemes have been divided into a number of workstreams that align with the contractors’ specialisms, and will also include design. Bandings have been introduced into the framework model to differentiate some contracting terms between bands. General civil engineering.
