A host of contractors have landed places on Manchester City Council’s £200m Highways and Infrastructure Construction Works framework.
The framework is due to run for four years and is worth around £50m per annum. All 10 councils in the Greater Manchester Combined Authority can use the framework, which has eight Lots covering construction and design services and value bands ranging from up to £500,000 to over £5m.
Cllr Angeliki Stogia, executive member for environment and skills, told Highways that the council had placed an emphasis on social value through the framework, including local spend, employment and training as well as environmental sustainability.
She added that the schemes on the framework would be subject to mini invitation to tenders ‘when we will drill down and be even more specific in terms of social value and what the commitment will be’.
Works on the framework include the Manchester and Salford Inner Relief Route to be delivered on behalf of Manchester and Salford City Councils, as well as works on Hyde Road and Great Ancoats Street.
