The contract is set to last for 8 years, starting from 2nd November 2020 and concluding on 1st November 2028. A tender launch event is scheduled on 14th January 2020, with a deadline for expressions of interest on 10th January 2020. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage and involves a tender method. Candidates can find additional information through a planned procurement notice and a tender notice available online. This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in highway maintenance, civil engineering, and associated electrical works, particularly those capable of collaborative operations with multiple stakeholders. Businesses that can provide services related to roadworks, tunnel maintenance, and signalling equipment installation would be particularly well-suited to compete. Given the scale and duration of the contract, suitable suppliers will have the chance to establish a long-term partnership with Highways England, further enhancing their growth and visibility in the industry. ## Notice Highways England is looking for a suitable contractor to provide and undertake all routine and cyclic maintenance, incident response, defect rectification (when instructed by Highways England) and severe weather delivery on the all-purpose trunk roads and motorways within Highways England South-East Region (Area 4) in accordance to Highways England standards and objectives. Additional duties will also include the ongoing maintenance of two tunnels (A20 Roundhill & A27 Southwick), maintenance of roadside technology, the provision of traffic management for the contractor's maintenance and response activities (including traffic management) during incidents and where instructed by Highways England and the maintenance of depots. Under the CDM Regulations 2015 the contractor will be Principal Contractor for all work they undertake unless instructed otherwise by the Service Manager. Highways England may consider amending the duties listed above and may remove or amend these as appropriate during the contract period. The Service Period for the maintenance and response contract is for a duration of 8 years, and the successful provider will be expected to operate collaboratively with other service providers and stakeholders in order to achieve Highways England's objectives. Highways England will be hosting a tender launch event, at a venue to be confirmed (location likely to be in close proximity to Maidstone); date of tender launch is anticipated to be on 14th January 2020. Expressions of interest are invited (limited to 2 attendees per tenderer) and a further email notification will be issued.
