Introduction

We currently operate a comprehensive Term Service Contract for delivering the majority of highway and environmental operations with a separate contract for consultancy services.  We would like to obtain the views of the construction industry, trade organisations, highway authorities and other interested parties on how best to procure these services in the future.

Scope and process

Please note that this is not the commencement of any formal procurement process and we are not committed to carrying out such a process.

For the avoidance of doubt, no information provided in this process will be used by the Council in assessing contractors during any subsequent procurement process.

This early market engagement exercise is intended to allow contractors to outline their views and ideas and to provide information to us with no commitment to themselves or the Council.

We will consider the information received as a result of this exercise to help inform our options appraisal and subsequent Council decision making process.
