The Council is responsible for maintaining over 8700km of carriageways and 6300km of footways across the County. The Council's current Highways Term Maintenance Contract is due to expire on the 31st August 2018 and as part of the Commissioning Cycle, the Authority is keen to understand market conditions before it develops its procurement strategy.
