HE awards final two maintenance contracts in Area 7

15/06/2016 | HIGHWAYS REPORTERS

Highways England (HE) has awarded the final two contracts as part of its new delivery arrangements in the East Midlands (Area 7).

This means all key contracts are now in place ahead of HE bringing key asset and operational management functions in house in the region from 1 July.

Contracts for structural inspections and weather forecasting were awarded to Rogers Structural Inspections and the Met Office respectively.

The signing of these two latest contracts follows the appointment of suppliers to the new framework for delivering construction works in the East Midlands last month.

The structural inspections contract will deliver against a programme defined by the East Midlands team, and will provide routine principal and general inspections of structures. The contract has an estimated value of up to £3 million, running for up to five years.

The weather forecasting contract, which was developed jointly with Highways England’s National Winter and Severe Weather Team, will provide the new Area 7 forecasting service and the national forecasting service, and will include embedded forecasters located at Highways England’s National Traffic Operations Centre (NTOC) throughout the winter. The contract has an expected value of £1m and will run for a minimum of three years.

The new framework for delivering construction works in the East Midlands includes provision for a range of services, including pavement, general civil engineering, drainage and landscaping engineering, amongst others.

David Poole, director for commercial and procurement at Highways England, said: “Working with our supply chain partners to establish the community will be pivotal to the success of the new approach to asset maintenance and delivery in the East Midlands. I am looking forward to working collaboratively with our new colleagues from the supply chain over the coming months and years.”

Highways England is working with all the successful contractors to ensure they are mobilised and ready to begin delivering key services from 1 July 2016.

The appointed contractors for the Construction Works Framework are as follows:
