Summary of the contracting process

National Highways has successfully completed the procurement process for the Legacy Concrete Roads Reconstruction (LCRR) framework, aimed at reconstructing concrete roads across the UK. This framework falls under the 'works' category and focuses on construction, foundation, and surface works for highways and roads. The procurement stage was completed with the award of contracts on 9th February 2026, following an open procedure initiated on 22nd January 2025. The framework is valid for six years, aligning with the RIS3 funding period (2026-31) and overlapping with the beginning of RIS4 (2031-36) to ensure seamless continuity. Key dates included the tender period ending on 5th March 2025 and contract award notification, respectively, emphasizing the timely process and collaboration with stakeholders involved in the planning and execution phases.

The LCRR framework presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in construction and engineering services, particularly those specializing in road infrastructure. It requires performing principal designer and contractor roles, offering ample prospect for large-scale firms capable of managing complex road reconstruction projects and incorporating traffic management solutions. Businesses adept in environmental practices such as carbon capture and recycling will find strategic alignment with the framework's aims. Companies like Kier Transportation Limited, John Graham Construction Ltd, and John Sisk and Son Ltd are already active suppliers under this framework, demonstrating a preference for established providers with robust capabilities in delivering high-quality, sustainable road construction solutions. With a budget of £968 million allocated for the project, there exists a substantial market opportunity for industry players equipped to offer innovation in roadworks and associated infrastructure services.

Notice Title

Legacy Concrete Roads Reconstruction Framework

Notice Description

National Highways have awarded a national framework, the Legacy Concrete Roads Reconstruction (LCRR) framework, that allows the delivery of concrete roads reconstruction schemes. The framework scope for the LCRR framework includes: * design and subsequent construction services for: - demolition of existing concrete pavements, - reconstruction of pavements (including new pavement furniture and markings) * design and delivery of associated temporary traffic management solutions, * when instructed: - involvement in optioneering, - design and construction of alterations to those legacy assets which interface with the replacement pavements' designs, which may include sub-surface drainage, street furniture and its foundations and signage, - design and construction to replace legacy central reserve with a hardened solution and overlay legacy concrete pavement with a long-life pavement solution (including new pavement furniture and markings), * performing principal designer and principal contractor duties as defined under the "Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015" ("CDM Regulations 2015") * carbon capture recording and reporting, * recovery, recycling and reuse of arisings during the delivery of a scheme, * engagement with all identified stakeholders, and * identification, recording and realisation of programme efficiencies. The LCRR framework is six years in duration to ensure alignment to and coverage of the RIS3 funding period (2026-31) but also to overlap with the beginning of RIS4 (2031-36) in case of any delays in approvals of the strategy or funding for RIS4. This alignment of duration with our funding periods is required from a procurement, commercial and operational perspective because it provides greater efficiency and certainty that the strategic plan for which funding is received can be delivered consistently; clarity for future procurements and sufficient time to embed learning, best practice and investment in innovations. From a National Highways perspective, the proposed framework term allows for the RIS4 settlement to be finalised and agreed prior to the LCRR frameworks successor being procured. This will bring certainty of work and value to the future procurement. Works will be allocated as per the Framework Information document.
