## Summary

Devon County Council, a regional authority based in Exeter, is managing a modification to the existing contract for highway maintenance services, awarded to Milestone Infrastructure Limited. This modification involves a VEAT notice to extend the current contract rather than offering a new tender opportunity. The extension is crucial to maintain continuous highway services across Devon until March 2029, in light of the English Devolution plans announced in December 2024. The contract extension, valued at £100,000,000, operates under a limited procurement method without prior publication due to unforeseen circumstances, as per Regulation 72(1)(c). The existing contract, initially awarded in November 2016, was set to expire in March 2027.

This contract extension provides a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in highway maintenance, structural products, road equipment, and associated services. Companies offering architectural, construction, engineering, and landscaping services may find significant opportunities to collaborate with Milestone Infrastructure Limited in supporting Devon's highway maintenance needs. Firms with a focus on public service contracts or dealing extensively with local authorities will be particularly well-suited to engage in this procurement. The contract ensures stable continuity of service, allowing partners to enhance their portfolios with long-term involvement in a critical public infrastructure project.

## Notice

The contracting authority is not awarding a new contract. This VEAT notice is in respect of a proposed modification to extend the existing contract for the provision of Devon County Council's Highways Maintenance Services.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This is not a new contract opportunity, but rather a VEAT notice to inform the market that the contracting authority is seeking to extend their existing contract for the provision of highway maintenance services with M Group Highways. The contract was originally awarded on the 21st November 2016 and is due to expire on 31 March 2027. The extension period will be for 2 year (terminating on 31 March 2029). The extension will ensure continuity of highway maintenance services in Devon during the period in which the plans for English Devolution (Government Proposals announced on the 16th December 2024) to abolish all two-tier councils will be enacted. A full procurement exercise can be undertaken for contract(s) to start in April 2029. The total value of the extension is estimated at PS100,000,000

### Procurement Information

The current contract is being modified to allow extension under Regulation 72(1)(c) Unforeseen circumstances that could have not been predicted. The need for modification has been brought about by the surprise Government proposals published in the form of a White Paper on 16th December 2024 announcing plans for English Devolution ("Government Proposals"). In essence, all two-tier councils will be abolished over the next three years. These circumstances could not have been foreseen. The modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract , and the increase in value does not exceed the original value by 50%.
