Devon County Council has extended the deadline for its £64.8m resurfacing framework.

Originally set for 2 July, the deadline to submit tenders for this four-year framework has now been extended to midday on 6 July, with the council pushing back the estimated date for the award decision from 3 August until 10 August.

The council plans to use the framework to cover highway resurfacing, reconstruction, patching, recycling (of materials), the laying of carriageway lining and High Friction Surfacing (HFS).

Expected to run from 1 September this year until 31 August 2030, the framework is divided into three lots:

  • Lot 1. Resurfacing, reconstruction and patching of carriageways, Ex-Situ Recycling of pavements and associated works – estimated value up to £57.6m
  • Lot 2. Hand patching, the installation of High Friction Surfacing (HFS), carriageway lining, patching of existing HFS installations and associated works – estimated value up to £3.6m
  • Lot 3. In-situ Pavement Recycling and associated works – estimated value up to £3.6m
