This contract is set to follow the existing agreement which commenced in 2014 and has a potential value of £20-25 million annually. Key dates include an engagement end date of 5th January 2022 and an initial Market Engagement event via online Teams Meeting, where contractors can learn about MKC's strategy for the future provision of Highway Maintenance services. Contractors are encouraged to register for participation to discuss plans and provide feedback. This tender creates substantial growth opportunities for businesses specializing in construction, road maintenance, and related services. Companies with experience in highways maintenance, drainage, traffic schemes, and emergency response would be particularly well-suited to compete for this lengthy contract, which may allow for extensions of up to ten years. Engaging with MKC now can provide insights that may inform future bids, hence, it is vital for interested contractors to involve themselves in the forthcoming discussions and evaluations. ## Notice MKC is considering options for the future provision of its Highway Maintenance service. This work is currently carried out within an existing Highways Maintenance contract which started in 2014 and concludes in 2023/24 dependant on extensions. The scope of the existing contract covers most operational aspects of Highways Maintenance including reactive and planned maintenance, traffic schemes, drainage, surfacing, emergency works, winter maintenance, signs, road markings. The scope of the next contract is being considered by MKC. The current contract has a maximum duration, with extensions of up to ten years, with an annual spend of circa PS20-25m pa. In advance of the formal procurement process commencing in 2022, the Council wishes to engage with experienced Contractors to share its plan and strategy for the new contract, and to hear views from the Highway Maintenance industry. To obtain the views of the industry the Council will shortly be having an initial Market Engagement event by holding an on-line Teams Meeting. This event will be lead by MKC, explaining its strategy and drivers for the future provision of Highway Maintenance. Following the Teams event, interested parties will have the opportunity to comment and question the proposals by completing an on-line questionnaire. MKC may also consider holding one to one meetings with Contractors for further informal discussions. This is not part of the formal Procurement process, and no commitment from MKC or respondents is implied or given. If you wish to register for this Teams event please contact the Procurement Team. Further details will be available following registration. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/66a6afe3-1a4f-490c-b0e2-bea1c6cf288c | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 5 Jan 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MILTON KEYNES COUNCIL | | Locality | MILTON KEYNES | | Post town | Milton Keynes | | Postcode | MK9 3EJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ12 Milton Keynes | | Local authority | Milton Keynes | | Electoral ward | Central Milton Keynes | | Westminster constituency | Milton Keynes Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45233000 - Construction, foundation and surface works for highways, roads ## Release History - 29 Nov 2021 at 14:23 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/66a6afe3-1a4f-490c-b0e2-bea1c6cf288c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/66a6afe3-1a4f-490c-b0e2-bea1c6cf288c 29th November 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
