Summary of the contracting process

Westminster City Council (WCC) is seeking a single partner or consortium to deliver a comprehensive Highways and Public Realm Contract, primarily across the City of Westminster. This tender offers substantial opportunities in the construction, foundation, and surface works for highways and roads, featuring an anticipated contract start date of 1st October 2026 with a completion date of 31st March 2039. The estimated contract value is £1.25 billion over a 12-year and 6-month period. This procurement is currently in the tender stage, following a competitive procedure with negotiation, with key documents available via the Westminster Procurement and Contracts portal. The tender period ends on 4th April 2025, with an initial mobilisation period extending up to six months before services commence.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the construction and public works sectors, including those specialising in highways maintenance, street lighting, and public realm projects. Given the contract's extensive scope, including carriageway maintenance and resurfacing, footway re-paving, and bridge works, it is well-suited for businesses with robust capabilities in large-scale infrastructure projects. Additionally, companies with expertise in providing design services, structural inspections, and IT management systems for traffic and highways will find this contract particularly advantageous. The nature of this contract, which bars the successful tenderer from bidding for the Audit, Compliance, and Asset Management Contract, ensures specialised business growth opportunities within the main contract itself.

Notice Title

Highways and Public Realm Contract

Notice Description

Westminster City Council (WCC) intends to enter into an agreement with a single partner (or consortia) to deliver the Highways and Public Realm Contract primarily, but not exclusively, across the City of Westminster. WCC will separately, at a later point in time, be procuring an Audit, Compliance and Asset Management Contract with a likely commencement date of April 2027 (subject to change). The purpose of the Audit, Compliance and Asset Management Contract is to ensure that the main Highways and Public Realm contract is delivering outputs from a commercial, quality and performance perspective. Economic Operators are made aware that any successful tenderer for this Highways and Public Realm Contract shall not be permitted to tender for Audit, Compliance and Asset Management Contract as it would not be possible for the same contractor to objectively monitor their own performance. Economic Operators are advised that the procurement documents available via the Portal are (with the exception of the CAS SQ and CAS SQ Guidance) provided in draft for information purposes at this stage in the process and are subject to change. WCC reserves the right to enhance and/or amend any of the material, positions and details set out the Procurement Documents. Further, WCC is following a CPN process for this procurement and the procurement documents may continue to develop as the procurement progresses. The CAS SQ and CAS SQ Guidance may be subject to refinement and clarification in response to queries from economic operators or to correct any errors or omissions. Further information is set out in the CAS SQ Guidance available via the Portal. WCC makes no commitment to award any contract as a result of this procurement or otherwise.
