Highway Maintenance and Capital Works

The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Council (RBWM) is seeking suppliers for highway maintenance and capital works. This contract is essential for managing and maintaining the public highway network within the Borough, which is a vital community asset that supports both local and national economies. The maintenance of this network is crucial for ensuring community mobility and accessibility, which are key to fostering an inclusive society. The highway network plays a significant role in achieving the strategic objectives of the Council and aligns with the shared priorities of both national and local government. Efficient transport links are necessary for a thriving population and economy, providing access to employment, education, healthcare, retail, and leisure services. The Council's Highway Management and Maintenance Plan (HMMP) outlines the policies and procedures that guide highway maintenance practices, adhering to the three Codes of Practice established by the Roads Liaison Group with support from the Department of Transport. These codes include guidelines for highway lighting management, highway maintenance management, and management of highway structures. The HMMP emphasizes that highway maintenance must be integrated with the Council's other functions and responsibilities, focusing on value for money and continuous improvement. The Council is committed to maintaining the highway network in a safe condition, despite challenges such as increasing traffic volumes and larger vehicles. Suppliers interested in this opportunity should be prepared to contribute to the effective management and maintenance of the highway network, ensuring it remains a safe and accessible resource for the community.
