The highway network in the Medway towns covers approximately 840km, with 110km of A roads, 37km of B roads, 97km of C road, and 596km of unclassified roads.

The Framework Contract is anticipated to commence on 1st November 2026 and will continue for a period of two years, with the option of extending the Framework Contract for an additional two years thereafter, via two separate one year extensions.
