Maintenance and Repair Contract for Strategic Road Network

National Highways is seeking a contractor for maintenance and repair (M&R) services for civil and technology assets on the Strategic Road Network (SRN). The contractor will be responsible for both scheduled and emergency maintenance, incident response, and managing severe weather conditions. The contract will be executed based on specific requirements set by National Highways, which will dictate the nature and timing of the work. Payment structures will vary depending on the type of work, including cost reimbursement for undefined tasks, scheduled rates for defined but variable tasks, and lump sum payments for well-defined projects. The contract documentation must clearly outline National Highways' standards and expectations to ensure effective service delivery and value for money. It is essential that the contractor understands the quality standards expected and can deliver high-volume, low-cost services consistently. The specification document is crucial for translating these requirements into actionable tasks, ensuring compliance with statutory duties, and supporting the overall safety and serviceability of the SRN. Additionally, sustainability considerations will be integrated into all maintenance activities to align with the Net Zero agenda. This initiative aims to refine the specification for future M&R contracts, ensuring that National Highways' needs are met effectively and consistently.
