Asset Delivery (AD12) Maintenance & Response Contract Cr

Tender description

This VEAT Notice relates to a Deed of Variation to a National Highways' Maintenance and Response Contract. This Contract currently provides and undertakes all cyclical and reactive maintenance, incident response, defect rectification and severe weather delivery on the trunk roads and motorways within Yorkshire & Humber (National Highways Area 12) (the "Contract"). Duties also include maintenance of roadside technology, the provision of traffic management for the contractor, maintenance and incident response activities, and traffic management for others who may be working on the network The variation will add a section of the M1-A1, Lofthouse to Bramham into the Contract which is currently maintained under a Design Build Finance & Operate ("DBFO") contract which is due to expire on 25 March 2026. Consequently the total value of the Contract will increase by approximately 44%. It will also shorten the Contract which will have a new end date of 1st August 2028 instead of 6 June 2029 in order to align with the procurement process for the next Maintenance & Response contracts. Lot 1: A Design Build Finance Operate (DBFO) contract covers M1-A1 and expires on 25th March 2026. National Highways therefore must appoint an alternative maintenance contractor and it considers that the scope of these works is already included within this existing Maintenance and Response Contract which is adjacent geographically. Therefore these roads will be incorporated into this existing Maintenance and Response (M&R) Contract for Area 12 of the Strategic Road Network following the award of the Deed of Variation. This together with the need for national alignment of the expiry dates for all of the M&R contracts, ready for their re-procurement, means that the term of the Area 12 M&R Contract will be shortened and will have a new end date of 1st August 2028 instead of 06th June 2029. The new estimated total Contract value will be £ 257,250,000.
