Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council is initiating a procurement process for Highways Services, with a planned timeline set to begin in August 2021. The Council, which is responsible for maintaining the highway network in Buckinghamshire, will host a virtual Market Engagement Event on 8th July 2021, aimed at providing potential suppliers with further details on the upcoming tender and the service delivery model. This is an important opportunity for interested parties, as the existing integrated services contract worth approximately £45 million is set to expire on 31st March 2023. The procurement will encompass various contracts, including a Term Maintenance Contract and a Term Consultancy Contract, along with two frameworks covering minor and major works.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in highway maintenance and consultancy services, particularly those capable of delivering routine and reactive maintenance, design, and engineering services. Enterprises with experience in construction, structural engineering, and road maintenance will be well-placed to compete for these new contracts, which could span an initial term of eight years with options for further extension. Participation in the upcoming Market Engagement Event is encouraged for those looking to understand the requirements and conditions that will shape future procurement processes in this sector.

This includes the maintenance, renewal and improvement of carriageways, footways, cycleways, structures, drainage systems, restraint systems, lighting, signalling and other associated assets; and the carrying out of winter maintenance services. The Council currently delivers these services through an integrated services contract of approximately PS45M per annum with a private sector partner. This contract is due to expire on 31 March 2023. The Council has undertaken a fundamental review of how services are to be delivered from 01 April 2023 and has consulted widely with internal and external stakeholders. The new service delivery model will establish an increased in-house capability including policy setting and asset management. It is intended that this Council team will be supported by a range of contracts with external providers as follows: 1. A Term Maintenance Contract to include routine and reactive maintenance, minor improvement works and winter services. This will be for an initial 8-year term with options to extend by a further 4 years. 2. A Term Consultancy Contract to include design and other professional services. This will be an initial 8-year term with options to extend by a further 4 years. 3. Two separate framework arrangements each of a maximum 4-year duration. Framework One - Highways Minor Works Framework Lot 1: Conventional surfacing work Lot 2: Surface treatments including surface dressing Lot 3: Minor works (<PS0.5M) Framework Two - Highways Major Works Framework Major works (>PS0.5M) Full details of these proposed contractual arrangements will appear in the eventual procurement documents which will be made available to economic operators following the launch of the call for competition in due course. The Council reserves the right to amend these proposed arrangements at any time up until the call(s) for competition is(are) issued and after that to the extent it is legally permissible. The Council is intending to procure these new contracts during 2021 and 2022. The procurement of the Term Maintenance Contract will commence in August 2021 with the procurement of the other contracts to commence shortly thereafter so that all contracts are awarded in sufficient time for mobilisation and commencement from 01 April 2023. The Council intends to publish contract notices as calls for competition pursuant to Regulations 26(8) and 49 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) on or around the estimated date in II.3 of this notice. The Council will host a virtual Market Engagement Event at 10.30am to 12 midday on 8th July 2021 at which senior representatives of the Council will provide further details of the proposed model and contracts, the procurement processes and timetables. Participants will also be able to ask questions during and immediately after the event.
