Duncan Smith, Acting Executive Director for Operations at National Highways, said:
Today바카라 사이트™s announcement marks the start of a new way to keep the country바카라 사이트™s motorways and major A-roads in top condition by delivering the largest and most comprehensive renewals programme we have ever embarked on.
The Scheme Delivery Framework will allow us to deliver these vital activities, ensuring the Strategic Road Network remains safe and serviceable, so road users can continue enjoying the benefits of smooth, reliable journeys.
This new approach enables a diverse pool of suppliers of all sizes to work directly with National Highways. Approximately 23% of the overall framework value has been awarded to SMEs, so creating a secure pipeline of work and increasing innovation across the board.
Social value was inherent throughout the procurement process ensuring that suppliers are measured on their contribution and impact socially within each region.
Key themes include:
바카라 사이트¢ Helping local communities to recover from the impact of Covid-19 바카라 사이트¢ Creating new businesses, new jobs and new skills 바카라 사이트¢ Tackling workforce inequality
Duncan added:
The바카라 사이트¯framework바카라 사이트¯offers a blend of바카라 사이트¯large capital바카라 사이트¯work along with smaller specialist opportunities that바카라 사이트¯maximises바카라 사이트¯the ability for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to develop a바카라 사이트¯direct relationship with National Highways, driving growth within the industry and introducing more innovation.
The SDF supports the delivery of National Highways바카라 사이트™ decarbonisation, sustainability and environmental ambitions across its renewals programme. It limits repeat maintenance, reducing the exposure of the workforce to traffic and reduces the overall cost of maintaining the network. In addition, as part of mobilisation, awarded suppliers will develop carbon reduction plans.
The framework is split into four bands:
- Band A - Civil Engineering and Drainage
- Band B - Temporary Traffic Management and Road Restraint Systems
- Band C 바카라 사이트“ Specialist works
- Band D 바카라 사이트“ Design
Within each band there are between two and seven lots. The lots are then subdivided into geographically focused sublots. Award values for the 50 suppliers vary between £1m and £144m, highlighting how the framework enables SMEs to operate side by side with larger companies.
