## Summary

Highways England has initiated the "Area 3 Maintenance and Response Contract", aimed at delivering routine maintenance and incident response on all-purpose trunk roads and motorways across Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, and parts of Dorset and Buckinghamshire. This open procedure procurement process, valued at £203,579,560, was awarded on 21 May 2021, with the contract commencing on 1 November 2021 and lasting for eight years. The procurement is currently complete, with all parties expected to collaborate to meet Highways England's standards. The work involves managing roadside technology, traffic management, and various maintenance responsibilities, clearly defined under relevant regulation standards.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in highway maintenance, construction, and road traffic-control equipment. Companies with experience in long-term infrastructure projects and those capable of handling complex operational and logistical challenges in public roads maintenance would be ideally suited for competition. As the contract includes a substantial budget and long duration, it offers a stable growth possibility for suitably qualified contractors and subcontractors looking to expand in the UK public works sector.

Duties will also include maintenance of roadside technology, the provision of traffic management for the contractor's maintenance and incident response activities (including traffic management for others), where instructed by Highways England and the maintenance of depots.
