Tender description
This notice relates to the procurement of the Maintenance and Response 2 (M&R2) framework, which will deliver maintenance and reactive services for National Highways, across the strategic road network (SRN). The SRN is one of the biggest and most important pieces of infrastructure in the country, and is comprised of more than 4,500 miles of motorways and major A roads which are at the core of our national transport system. The M&R2 framework will consist of seven location based lots and, following the procurement exercise, a single supplier will be appointed to deliver the services in each location. Each successful supplier will also be appointed to an overarching framework agreement, to provide resilience across the network in the event of supplier failure. National Highways is looking for suitable suppliers to provide and undertake: - cyclical maintenance, - reactive maintenance to address urgent needs, - incident response, - severe weather operations and winter maintenance, - operational roadside technology maintenance and schemes, and - selected asset renewal works including but not limited to; road markings, soft estate, lighting, road signs, road restraint systems and fencing. Further details regarding previous market engagement events, as well as an updated presentation on our proposed strategy, can be found on the project's external sharepoint site - https://highways.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/NationalHighwaysProcurement-MaterialforExternalRelease/IgCmPhC4_IKvS4vnf17Vn_ERAW7qqqsR9UeGBtfZxLa6ZJQ?e=4lG9lc Further details regarding previous market engagement events, as well as an updated presentation on our proposed strategy, can be found on the project's external sharepoint site - https://highways.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/NationalHighwaysProcurement-MaterialforExternalRelease/IgCmPhC4_IKvS4vnf17Vn_ERAW7qqqsR9UeGBtfZxLa6ZJQ?e=4lG9lc Further contract and procurement details can be found in the conditions of participation documents published on the National Highways eSourcing Portal, specifically the Information Memorandum.

About the buyer
National Highways is the government company that plans, designs, builds, operates and maintains England's motorways and major A roads, and buys as a central government body. Suppliers register on the National Highways eSourcing Portal to search live tenders and opportunities. Larger contracts are also advertised on Find a Tender, with Contracts Finder used for smaller opportunities. Most work reaches the market through framework contracts covering major schemes and routine maintenance. The Supply Chain Team handles queries on contracts, frameworks and procurement processes. A social enterprise dynamic purchasing system also opens smaller contracts to voluntary and community organisations.
Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.
Over the past 5 years, most of National Highways Limited's contract awards have been in construction work, transport equipment and research and development.
