## Summary

Westminster City Council has extended an existing contract for highways maintenance services related to bridges and structures with FM Conway Ltd. The contract, originally awarded in April 2014 for a term of twelve years, has been extended for an additional six months, pushing the termination date to 30th September 2026. This modification, which does not constitute a new contract, allows for continued services within Westminster City Council's administrative area. The tender falls under the construction industry, specifically targeting bridges and tunnels, with an estimated additional value of £3,480,000.

This contract extension provides opportunities for businesses specialising in highways maintenance to prepare for potential future tenders from the Council. Companies capable of offering similar services may benefit from understanding Westminster City Council's procurement processes and standards. Additionally, the extension ensures continuity of work for FM Conway Ltd, which can leverage this period to strengthen its relationship with the local authority and possibly expand its portfolio within the regional market.

Contract C Bridges and Structures - This includes maintenance management and improvement of the City Council's bridges and structures

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Council is not awarding a new contract, it is modifying an existing contract awarded to FM Conway Ltd ("FM Conway") on 1st April 2014 to extend the term of the contract by a further six months . See further information at IV.1.1.

### 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 PS3,480,000 against a spend to date value of PS104,400,000. 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.
