## Summary

The procurement process under consideration involves National Highways, a national agency responsible for maintaining road networks within the United Kingdom. The contract titled "Asset Delivery (AD) Area 10 Maintenance & Response (M&R) Contract" pertains to highway maintenance work in Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, and parts of Lancashire. The contract is currently in the award stage, with a significant Deed of Variation executed to shorten its duration, now set to end on 6th June 2029. This adjustment aligns the contract with future procurement strategies, which form part of a larger programme of Maintenance & Response contracts. The process was conducted using a limited procurement method, indicating an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in construction work, roadworks, road-maintenance, electrical installation, and engineering services, as it covers comprehensive maintenance and response tasks on significant road networks. Large-scale companies, such as AMEY OW Limited, the contract awardee, would find such contracts beneficial for sustained growth due to the extensive and ongoing demand for specialised maintenance and infrastructure services. The contract's comprehensive scope offers numerous subcontracting opportunities, making it suitable for firms adept in managing complex and diverse infrastructural projects across the specified regions within the UK.

## Notice

This Contract currently provides and undertakes all cyclical and reactive maintenance, incident response, defect rectification and severe weather delivery on the trunk roads and motorways within Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside and parts of Lancs (National Highways Area 10) (the "Contract"). Duties also include maintenance of roadside technology, the provision of traffic management for the contractor, maintenance and incident response activities, and traffic management for others who may be working on the network. The Contract is due to expire on 31st March 2034 and will be shortened to have a new end date of 6th June 2029, this is in order to align with the procurement process for the next Maintenance & Response contracts.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Contract is one of a number of Maintenance & Response contracts which are part of a single procurement programme. For continuity and consistency there is a need for national alignment of the expiry date for all M&R contracts to enable co-ordinated re-procurement. This means that the term of this Area 10 M&R Contract will be shortened and will have a new end date of 6th June 2029 instead of 31st March 2034.The amended Contract estimated value is PS468,270,000.

### Procurement Information

The modifications to the Contract fall within the permissible grounds set out under Regulation 72(1)(e) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 in that the modifications are not substantial within the meaning of Regulation 72(8) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 because: This is a Contract shortening and does not render the Contract materially different; The minor shortening of the Contract would not have changed the outcome of the original procurement as it would not have altered tenders or scores; The shortened Contract will operate on the same terms and pricing so that this does not alter the economic balance of the Contract in favour of the contractor; The change does not considerably alter the scope of the Contract as the works and services provided will remain unchanged; and; This is not a change in contractor. The Deed of Variation ensures continuity of service on the Strategic Road Network and aligns with National Highways' wider asset delivery and procurement strategy, thereby safeguarding public value and network integrity. The Contract is being shortened to better align with the re-procurement strategy for all Maintenance & Response contracts.
