## Summary

The Somerset Council has awarded a £150 million contract to Kier Transportation Limited for the "Highway Term Maintenance Contract 2024". The contract involves construction work for highways in England and aims to reduce the environmental impact of services delivered, supporting the Climate Emergency Strategy. The procurement method used was a selective negotiated procedure, with a tender period ending on August 18, 2023, and a contract period starting on April 1, 2024, and ending on March 31, 2032.

This contract presents significant business opportunities for large-scale companies in the construction industry, particularly those specialising in highway maintenance. The Somerset Council aims to develop a resilient and sustainable network, adapting to climate change and reducing carbon emissions. Businesses offering innovative and environmentally friendly solutions, as well as those committed to sustainability and collaboration, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The contract also emphasises supporting the local economy and maximising social value, providing opportunities for businesses to contribute positively to the community.

## Notice

The Authority wishes to put in place a core highways maintenance contract that facilitates the delivery of innovative solutions, promotes recycling and re-use, and reduces the environmental impact of the services delivered throughout the lifetime of the contract. The new Term Service Contract (TSC) will replace the existing highway maintenance contract at the end of March 2024. In combination with the TSC, there will be three other contracts that will deliver surfacing, surface dressing, and new assets. All of these contracts will be tendered separately. All contracts will support the Authority's Climate Emergency Strategy and commitment to being carbon neutral by 2030. The Authority looks to establish collaborative ways of delivering the service to the residents of Somerset in a cost effective, flexible, and agile way, maximising the potential for success for the Authority and the appointed Contractor.
