This process involves the contract for maintaining transportation infrastructure, incrementing both proactive and reactive maintenance tasks, primarily under the services industry category. Key aspects include the upkeep of bus shelters, totems, cycle and mobility hubs, and park and ride sites throughout the region. The procurement is currently in the contract amendment stage, with a contract start date of 1st July 2026 and an end date set for 31st March 2031, with possible extensions up to 31st March 2036. This open procedure is governed under the legal framework of the UK Procurement Act 2023 and involves a contract value of approximately £14.5 million, increasing to £17.4 million including VAT. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in services related to repair, maintenance, and associated operations for roads and related infrastructure. Firms like Bus Shelters Ltd., which specialise in infrastructure maintenance and have a track record of handling reactive and planned maintenance, passenger information systems, and storing components, are well-positioned to compete. The sustainability focus in this contract could also appeal to environmentally-conscious organisations looking to implement green practices in their operational procedures. With a broad scope and the potential for long-term engagement via contract extensions, this tender can be particularly beneficial for SMEs aiming to establish or strengthen their presence in the public maintenance sector. ## Notice This contract is for the provision of highway infrastructure maintenance across TfWM's asset portfolio (bus shelters, totems, cycle and mobility hubs and all park and ride sites), including proactive and reactive maintenance tasks.
