Kent County Council advertises "£400m" highway work
Posted: Wednesday, July 3rd, 2024
Kent County Council (KCC) is seeking a single supplier for its road asset renewal contract (RARC), The Construction Index reported. RARC is the principal delivery method for planned road pavement renewal and reconstruction works across the county. Under this contract, a wide spectrum of renewal schemes will be undertaken, ranging from small resurfacing projects to large-scale reconstruction works, including foundational tasks, thereby offering a comprehensive range of opportunities for potential bidders. The contract scope includes planned repairs and emergency works, such as in the event of a road collapse. While the contract does not guarantee any specific amount of work, it is estimated to have an annual value of approximately £20m to £25m at current values. This translates to a total value of £100m to £125m over the initial five-year period, or potentially £200m to £250m if the optional five-year extension is exercised. However, the total maximum contract value is advertised as £400m. The council said, “to allow for any future increases in government or KCC funding, any future inflation, and any other unexpected but in-scope spend”.
