TfGM’s current UTC Ducting & Minor Highways Framework is approaching the end of its current term and in advance of retender TfGM are seeking market input into delivery routes for either a new framework or alternative options that will meet TfGM’s requirements over the coming four (or alternative) year period that will successfully meet the on-going demands of renewing and enhancing the Highway Network into future funding cycles.
The expiring framework has been used to deliver the following minor highways schemes:
– The addition of SCOOT / MOVA ducting to existing traffic signal junctions
– Bus stop kerbing and flagging upgrades
– Construction of controlled pedestrian crossings (zebra, puffin, toucan etc)
– Construction of new traffic signal junctions and upgrades to existing junctions.
Please note the values in this notice are based on a single supplier contracting arrangement. In the instance that a framework is established, the values and dates will be as follows:
Start Date: 01/05/2027
End Date: 30/04/2031
Estimated Value: £25,000,000
And in the instance that a single supplier contracting arrangement is established, the values and dates will be as follows:
Start Date: 01/05/2027
End Date: 30/04/2039
