The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director, Enterprise, Community and Resources, on a procurement process for the provision of a Surface Treatment Term Maintenance Contract.

The Board was advised that the existing contract for surface treatment of the highway would end on 31 March 2017. It was necessary to make arrangements to secure a new term maintenance contract during the current financial year, to commence on 1 April 2017. It was reported that the value for a five year contract would be in the region of £3m, and under procurement rules, the contract would be tendered.

The Board was advised that tender submissions would be evaluated on  a ratio of price (30%) and quality (70%), the outcome being reported to Executive Board at a future meeting.

RESOLVED: That it be noted that a procurement process will be entered into via The Chest, with the purpose of securing a Surface Treatment Term Maintenance Contract for carriageway and footway surface dressing and micro asphalt across the Borough.
