Summary of the contracting process

Medway Council procured highway junction improvement works at the A2 High Street junction with Mierscourt Road in Rainham. The works cover junction capacity improvements, pedestrian and bus stop accessibility enhancements, removal of traffic islands, upgraded traffic signals, resurfacing, block paving, street lighting upgrades, drainage improvements and soft landscaping. This is a highways and road construction project, including road junction construction and associated civil engineering works. Delivery is in Rainham, within Medway, Kent. The contract is for works rather than goods or professional services, and is relevant to contractors with experience delivering integrated highway, traffic management, public realm and associated infrastructure improvements in an operational road environment.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold open competition. One lot was awarded to Marlborough Highways Limited, and the contract was signed on 17 July 2026. The contract period runs from 22 July 2026 to 27 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £324,486.85 excluding VAT, or £388,000 including VAT. The original estimated lot value was £375,000 excluding VAT, or £450,000 including VAT. Evaluation weighted price at 50%, quality at 45% and social value at 5%. The contract uses NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract Option A, a priced contract with activity schedule, alongside the Manual of Contract Documents for Highway Works, September 2025. Electronic submission was allowed.

This award demonstrates demand from Medway Council for small to medium-scale, multi-disciplinary highway improvement delivery rather than a single isolated roadwork activity. A credible future competitor would need to coordinate junction capacity changes, traffic signals, accessibility measures, drainage, resurfacing, paving, lighting and landscaping within one controlled works package. Experience working to NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract Option A and the Manual of Contract Documents for Highway Works would be directly relevant, as would the ability to prepare reliable activity schedules and manage quality alongside price. Suppliers should also be able to evidence meaningful social value delivery and competence in working around public highways, pedestrians, bus users and live traffic. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating a scale accessible to capable specialist or regional highways contractors.
