Description

This VEAT Notice relates to a Deed of Variation to a National Highways' Maintenance and Response Contract. This Contract currently provides and undertakes all cyclical and reactive maintenance, incident response, defect rectification and severe weather delivery on the trunk roads and motorways within Yorkshire & Humber (National Highways Area 12) (the "Contract"). Duties also include maintenance of roadside technology, the provision of traffic management for the contractor, maintenance and incident response activities, and traffic management for others who may be working on the network The variation will add a section of the M1-A1, Lofthouse to Bramham into the Contract which is currently maintained under a Design Build Finance & Operate ("DBFO") contract which is due to expire on 25 March 2026. Consequently the total value of the Contract will increase by approximately 44%. It will also shorten the Contract which will have a new end date of 1st August 2028 instead of 6 June 2029 in order to align with the procurement process for the next Maintenance & Response contracts.

Opportunity Context

Lots

Lot Description: A Design Build Finance Operate (DBFO) contract covers M1-A1 and expires on 25th March 2026. National Highways therefore must appoint an alternative maintenance contractor and it considers that the scope of these works is already included within this existing Maintenance and Response Contract which is adjacent geographically. Therefore these roads will be incorporated into this existing Maintenance and Response (M&R) Contract for Area 12 of the Strategic Road Network following the award of the Deed of Variation. This together with the need for national alignment of the expiry dates for all of the M&R contracts, ready for their re-procurement, means that the term of the Area 12 M&R Contract will be shortened and will have a new end date of 1st August 2028 instead of 06th June 2029. The new estimated total Contract value will be £ 257,250,000.

    "procurementMethodRationale": "The modifications to the Contract fall within the permissible grounds set out under Regulation 72(1)(e) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 in that the modifications are not substantial within the meaning of Regulation 72(8) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 because: \nThe inclusion of Design Build Finance and Operate (DBFO) roads into the Contract does not render the Contract materially different compared to when it was originally procured. The type of work originally required of the Contract (i.e. maintenance and response) is the same as that which it will carry out on the previous DBFO stretches of the Strategic Road Network, it is just a case that the total lane coverage to be maintained under the Contract increases. \nAdding the additional roads would not have changed the outcome of the original procurement in any way. The Contract will be fully operated in accordance with their current terms and pricing; \nAs the current Contract will be operated for the new roads on the same terms and pricing, this does not alter the economic balance of the Contract in favour of the contractor; \nThe change does not considerably alter the scope of the Contract as the works and services provided will remain unchanged and the roads have been included in this Contract because they are adjacent in terms of geographical scope also. Any increase in scope is also mitigated by a shortening in Contract term; \nThis is not a change in contractor. \n\n            \nIn addition, National Highways also considers that the exemption at Regulation 72(1)(b) would in any event apply. This permits additional services or supplies that have become necessary and were not included in the initial procurement where a change of contractor cannot be made for economic or technical reasons and another supplier/procurement would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority; and where any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original Contract.  \nThe Deed of Variation ensures continuity of service on the Strategic Road Network and aligns with National Highways\u0027 wider asset delivery and procurement strategy, thereby safeguarding public value and network integrity.  The Contract is being shortened to better align with the re-procurement strategy for all Maintenance \u0026 Response contracts.  It would provide significant technical difficulties and duplication of procurement costs for National Highways to procure a contractor simply for this short stretch of network given the current re-procurement strategy.",
