This Notice is to notify the market that the contracting authority is seeking to extend their existing contract for the provision of highway maintenance services with M Group Highways. Originally awarded on the 21st November 2016 and due to expire on 31 March 2027 it has been extended to 31 March 2029. The current contract is being modified to allow extension under Regulation 72(1)(c) Unforeseen circumstances that could have not been predicted. The need for modification has been brought about by the surprise Government proposals published in the form of a White Paper on 16th December 2024 announcing plans for English Devolution ("Government Proposals"). In essence, all two-tier councils will be abolished over the next three years. These circumstances could not have been foreseen.
The Procurement Process for this the successor Contract (this Notice) is to be commenced in 2027 for an anticipated contract award in 2028 with a Service start date of 01 April 2029.
