Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves a framework titled "Highway Civils Framework" initiated by Kent County Council, the largest county council in England, located in Maidstone. This procurement, classified under construction work, aims to facilitate the delivery of significant highway infrastructure and civil engineering works throughout the South East of England. The framework has been established for a maximum duration of four years, although no specific projects are guaranteed. The competitive procedure includes negotiations with the contracting authority, and an active contract for civil engineering works has been awarded amounting to GBP 250 million as of October 1, 2021.

This tender represents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in construction, civil engineering, and infrastructure development. Companies specialising in highway maintenance, new build projects, environment improvement works, and multi-stakeholder management would find this framework particularly relevant. With the potential for direct awards or mini-competitions for call-off contracts, there is significant scope for both large contractors and smaller enterprises looking to establish themselves in public sector projects, especially those aligned with government departments and public bodies that may also utilise this framework.
