Description
This project is intended to replace the Scheme Delivery Framework (SDF) and the Pavement Delivery Framework (PDF). SDF and PDF are currently made up of different suppliers from specialist disciplines who work collaboratively to deliver network improvement and maintenance schemes in all regions of England. These frameworks and contracts enable National Highways to deliver renewals and small improvements across a range of activities, including substantial civil and structural works, pavement, barriers and drainage, traffic management activities and design services for a range of projects. Scheme Delivery Framework 2 (SDF2) will cover the Strategic Road Network (SRN), which is one of the biggest and most important pieces of infrastructure in the country. It comprises more than 4500 miles of motorways and major A roads which are at the core of our national transport system. National Highways is committed to delivering high-quality construction projects that meet the evolving needs of our stakeholders and customers. SDF has successfully facilitated numerous projects, and we are now preparing to develop the replacement to further improve the SRN.
