## Summary

Cumbria County Council is overseeing the tendering process for the "Provision of Core Surfacing 2018-2024," focusing on maintaining and repairing highways across the County of Cumbria.

The estimated total value for these works is approximately £75 million.

This tender presents significant opportunities for construction firms, particularly those with experience in highway maintenance and repair. Businesses specializing in large-scale surface works, capable of managing contracts valued between £50,000 and £1 million, would be well-suited to participate. The contract's collaborative nature, based on NEC3 Term Service principles, suggests an emphasis on partnership and quality service delivery, which could be advantageous for contractors seeking to build long-term relationships with local authorities.

Typical individual Task Order values vary from PS50,000 to PS250,000 but may be less than PS10,000 or in excess PS1m. The Contractor will be required to work with the Client in a collaborative fashion broadly following the principles of ISO 4400 The Core Surfacing Contracts comprise three lots: * Lot 1 - East Area * Lot 2 - South Area * Lot 3 - West Area Each Lot will form a standalone contract. A single preferred supplier will be appointed for each Lot for the whole term of the contract. Any Supplier can bid for any or all of the Lots but no contractor will be appointed to more than 2 Lots. Each contract will be for an initial term of 3 years with 3 possible extensions of 1 year each. Extensions will be at the sole discretion of the Council. The estimated annual value of the works awarded under each of lots is as follows: * Lot 1 - East Area: PS2.25m - PS5.50m * Lot 2 - South Area: PS2.00m - PS5.00m * Lot 3 - West Area: PS2.00m - PS5.00m
