Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk County Council is engaging in a procurement process for their Highways and Infrastructure Works Term Services Contract, estimated at a value of £700 million, exclusive of VAT, with the option for reductions and indexation. The contract spans a 14-year term, primarily covering works and maintenance for highways, roads, and related infrastructure like passenger transport, drainage, and coastal defences across the Norfolk region (UKH15, UKH16, UKH17). The process, currently at the 'Tender' stage, uses a selective procurement method with competitive dialogue, and potential bidders can express their interest until the submission deadline on 13th December 2024 at 11:00 AM. Registration and participation are managed electronically via the Council’s e-procurement system.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction, infrastructure maintenance, environmental services, and civil engineering. Companies equipped with expertise in small and intermediate-scale highway works, surface treatments, structural maintenance, and emergency response will find this contract highly suitable. There is also potential for businesses involved in IT services, waste management, and flood defences to contribute to the range of services required. The structured competitive dialogue and requirement for sustained performance, coupled with the substantial contract value, offer avenues for long-term business growth and collaboration with the regional authority of Norfolk County Council.
