Trunk road maintenance contracts
10/01/2005
Expressions of interest are being sought as part of the
retendering of the first two trunk road management and
maintenance contracts, Transport Minister Nicol Stephen
announced today.
The current four contracts covering the North West,
North East, South West and South East, were awarded to BEAR
and Amey in 2001 and will run up until April 2006 with a
two-year extension to 2008 if needed.
Contractors interested in tendering for the North West
and South West units are now being sought following an
advert in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Adverts for the second two will follow once the results
of this first phase are completed.
Mr Stephen said:
"Our trunk road network is a vital link for businesses
and communities across the country. Keeping the roads well
maintained and clear for traffic will be a key role for
these companies.
"We will be looking very carefully at the work of those
bidding to ensure the highest standards are met."
