## Summary

East Ayrshire Council, in conjunction with North Ayrshire Council, South Ayrshire Council, and West Lothian Council, has awarded the PS/24/25 4G Roads Minor Works Framework Contract. This contract, worth £85,000,000, focuses on highway maintenance and related works, including street lighting installation, bridge works, and minor civil works across the regions of East Ayrshire, North Ayrshire (including the Islands of Arran and Great Cumbrae), South Ayrshire, and West Lothian. The contract was signed on 27th September 2024, with work commencing on 1st October 2024 and a planned end date of 30th September 2028. The previous tender update specified a deadline extension to 8th July 2024, offering flexibility to potential bidders.

This framework agreement presents significant business growth opportunities for contractors specialising in road maintenance and associated civil works. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have a substantial presence, with 30 out of 33 total bids coming from SMEs. Businesses with expertise in the specified CPV codes, such as surface work for highways, road construction materials, and road-repair works, are well-suited to compete. Additionally, firms offering street lighting and bridge construction services can significantly benefit, providing extensive services under the flexible work order system within the framework. Tenderers can pursue any combination of geographical areas without bidding for every item, enhancing business diversification and local engagement.
