The Authority wishes to put in place a core highways maintenance contract that facilitates the delivery of innovative solutions, promotes recycling and re-use, and reduces the environmental impact of the services delivered throughout the lifetime of the contract.
The new Term Service Contract (TSC) will replace the existing highway maintenance contract at the end of March 2024. In combination with the TSC, there will be three other contracts that will deliver surfacing, surface dressing, and new assets. All of these contracts will be tendered separately.
