## Summary

The procurement process involves a framework titled "Highway Civils Framework" initiated by Kent County Council, the largest county council in England, located in Maidstone. This procurement, classified under construction work, aims to facilitate the delivery of significant highway infrastructure and civil engineering works throughout the South East of England. The framework has been established for a maximum duration of four years, although no specific projects are guaranteed. The competitive procedure includes negotiations with the contracting authority, and an active contract for civil engineering works has been awarded amounting to GBP 250 million as of October 1, 2021.

This tender represents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in construction, civil engineering, and infrastructure development. Companies specialising in highway maintenance, new build projects, environment improvement works, and multi-stakeholder management would find this framework particularly relevant. With the potential for direct awards or mini-competitions for call-off contracts, there is significant scope for both large contractors and smaller enterprises looking to establish themselves in public sector projects, especially those aligned with government departments and public bodies that may also utilise this framework.

## Notice

Kent County Council (the Council) is the largest county council in England covering an area of 3 500 km2. It has an annual expenditure of over GBP 900 million on goods and services and a population of 1.3 million. The Council provides a wide range of personal and strategic services on behalf of its residents, operating in partnership with 12 district councils and 305 parish/town councils. The Council is responsible for maintaining over 8 700 km of carriageways and 6 300 km of footways across the County. The framework is to enable the procurement and delivery of significant highway infrastructure development, civil engineering works and associated major value constructions works. The specific works and services that may be procured under the framework cannot be clearly defined at this stage, however the nature and types of works that may be required may include highway civil engineering works, contractors design and additional building works associated with civil engineering projects if required. The framework will cover the South East of England. There is no guarantee of work within this opportunity and the Council reserves the right to competitively tender any future project it deems appropriate. Call-off arrangement will be based on the NEC 3/4 suite of contracts. Schemes will be awarded on an individual basis either through direct award or mini competition procedures. This framework will support the highway and transportation business to deliver contracts that cannot be commissioned through its other agreements. This will be open to other government organisations.
