Thomas Bow wins out in Rutland

12/06/2024 | CHRIS AMES

Thomas Bow has replaced Tarmac as Rutland County Council’s highways term maintenance contract in a deal worth around £3.5m a year for up to 20 years.

The new contract began on 1 June 2024 and will run for 10 years with an option to extend by two five-year periods if key performace indicators are met.

According to a report to full council, the contract value is around £3.5m per year, depending on the work needed and exact programme of works undertaken.

Strategic director for places Penny Sharp said: ‘We are pleased to be able to shape the new contract to ensure it has an emphasis on social value and positive benefits to the local community, ranging from employment to community engagement. There is also a focus on carbon reduction, innovation, an opportunity for potential income generation and a cost reduction on the depot lease.’

Thomas Bow managing director Alistair Bow said: ‘This is an exciting contract for Thomas Bow and demonstrates our in-house capability to deliver multi discipline contracts for clients.

'We look forward to working with Rutland County Council to deliver improvements identified in the recent survey and also having a positive impact on the local community.’

Rutland CC was first established in 1889 but abolished in 1974 before being recreated in 1997

Tarmac took over responsibility for the county’s roads in December 2013 in a five-year deal that was extended by a further five years and then a further six months ‘to ensure service continuity’ during the commissioning period of the new contract.
