Area 9 Maintenance and Response Contract (West Midlands)

Description

This VEAT Notice relates to a Deed of Variation to a National Highways' Maintenance and Response Contract. This Contract currently provides and undertakes all cyclical and reactive maintenance, incident response, defect rectification and severe weather delivery on the trunk roads and motorways within Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, West Midlands and 
Worcestershire (National Highways Area 9) (the "Contract"). Duties also include maintenance of roadside technology, the provision of traffic management for the contractor, maintenance and incident response activities, and traffic management for others who may be working on the network. 
The variation will add three new roads into the Contract (covering half the A50 to the Toyota roundabout to the west) which are currently maintained under a Design Build Finance & Operate ("DBFO") contract which is due to expire on 30th June 2026. Consequently the total value of the Contract will increase by approximately 24%. It will also shorten the Contract which will have a new end date of 1st July 2029 instead of 30th June 2030 in order to align with the procurement process for the next Maintenance & Response contracts.
