Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes Council is in the planning stage for a new Highway Maintenance Contract, with significant opportunities in the construction and civil engineering industry. This contract is set to follow the existing agreement which commenced in 2014 and has a potential value of £20-25 million annually. Key dates include an engagement end date of 5th January 2022 and an initial Market Engagement event via online Teams Meeting, where contractors can learn about MKC's strategy for the future provision of Highway Maintenance services. Contractors are encouraged to register for participation to discuss plans and provide feedback.

This tender creates substantial growth opportunities for businesses specializing in construction, road maintenance, and related services. Companies with experience in highways maintenance, drainage, traffic schemes, and emergency response would be particularly well-suited to compete for this lengthy contract, which may allow for extensions of up to ten years. Engaging with MKC now can provide insights that may inform future bids, hence, it is vital for interested contractors to involve themselves in the forthcoming discussions and evaluations.
