## Summary

Westminster City Council is modifying an existing highways maintenance contract with FM Conway Ltd, originally awarded in 2014. The contract, titled "Highways Maintenance Services – Contract A – Highways Management and Public Realm Projects," falls under the industry category of construction, foundation, and surface works for highways and roads (CPV 45233000). This modification extends the contract term by six months, from 31st March 2026 to 30th September 2026, with an estimated value of £13,610,000 for the extension period. All services will be performed within Westminster City's administrative area, following the unchanged pricing and payment mechanisms of the original contract.

This contract modification presents opportunities for businesses involved in highways and public realm projects, including those specialising in reactive repairs, planned resurfacing, and repaving. Large firms with relevant experience and capacity similar to FM Conway Ltd, which holds the current contract, are well-suited to compete for potential future projects. The contract's scope and pricing stability offer a predictable environment for contractors to provide consistent, high-quality services and potentially expand into more extensive public works opportunities within the region.

### Procurement Information

This notice does not relate to the award of a new contract, but rather the modification of an existing contract described at Section II.2.4 above (the "2014 Contract"). The 2014 Contract was a call-off from a single supplier framework which had been procured by Westminster City Council ('the Council'). The 2014 Contract was for an overall term of twelve years to expire is due to expire on 31st of March 2026. The proposed contract modification is limited to an amendment to the service period to provide for an additional six months to 30th September 2026 and ancillary amendments to give effect to that change. The services to be delivered by the Contractor will remain substantially the same. The extension of the 2014 Contract for the further six months will be on the basis of the existing pricing and payment mechanisms provided for in the contract. The estimated value of the six month extension is PS13,610,000 against a spend to date value of PS408,200,000. The actual value of the spend during the six month extension will depend on the volume and specifics of the works and services ordered under the contract during the six month period. Further detail regarding the proposed contract extension can be found in the decision report available here: Decision - Highways Contract Update | Westminster City Council The Council considers that the proposed modification to the 2014 Contract is not 'substantial' pursuant to Regulation 72(1)(e) Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ('PCR'). Accordingly, the modification may lawfully be agreed between the parties and implemented without the need to conduct a fresh procurement procedure. Regulations 72(1)(e) and 72(8) PCR have been satisfied for the following reasons: * The character of the 2014 Contract and the services to be delivered by the Contractor will remain substantially the same and the 2014 Contract is not rendered materially different in character from the one originally concluded. * The 2014 Contract was a call-off from a single supplier framework and the extended contract term would have made no difference to the outcome of the procurement had it been part of the initial procurement procedure. * The proposed extension is for a six month period only and does not considerably extend the scope of the 2014 Contract which was for an overall term of 12 years. * The proposed extension is on the basis of existing contract pricing and payment mechanisms and does not change the economic balance of the 2014 Contract in favour of the Contractor in a manner not provided for in the 2014 Contract. * There is to be no replacement of the contractor to whom the Council had initially awarded the 2014 Contract. Further, the Council considers that it may also rely on Regulation 72(1)(b) PCR for the six-month extension.
