Award of Concrete Roads Lifecycle Extension Works Framework by Highways England

About

Highways England awarded a multi-lot specialist supplier framework contract to Volkerfitzpatrick Ltd, Dyer & Butler Ltd, Colas Ltd, and Tarmac Trading Ltd for lifecycle extension works on concrete roads.

The framework covers focused renewals to maximise the life of existing concrete pavement, including replacement of joint material between slabs, small patches and thin bond repairs for faults such as punch outs, spalled edges, and failed patches, repair or replacement of ironwork and surrounds, previously repaired stud holes, and kerb edging.

Repairs will use both flexible and rigid materials, with a preference for concrete-to-concrete repairs where possible.

The scope also includes high-performance joints between different materials, re-installation of loops or magnetometers, and introduction or widening of construction joints.

Contractors are expected to provide construction of chosen interventions, principal contractor duties, traffic management, welfare facilities, early contractor involvement in the design phase, and small works for localised planned repairs.

The framework provides contingency for other lots should suppliers in those lots be unable to deliver works.

The contract value is £67,000,000.
