RESOLVED:
1. That the background information set out in this report was noted; and
2. following consideration of the results of the procurement process in Part 2 of the meeting, the award of the Framework Agreement be approved.
Reason for decision:
Surrey County Council’s Highway Service is responsible for the delivery of a Highway Works Programme which is anticipated to be £120,000,000 over the next 3 years and for the delivery of works which are funded from revenue budget estimated to be at £44,000,000 per annum.
In order to deliver these works the Highways Service requires additional capacity to support the in-house teams. This capacity was previously provided by Professional Highways Services Framework which has now expired.
The award of this Framework will enable Surrey County Council to ensure that highways for which it is responsible remain safe for public use.
