    The Contract is one of a number of Maintenance & Response contracts which are part of a single procurement programme. For continuity and consistency there is a need for national alignment of the expiry date for all M&R contracts, to enable co-ordinated re-procurement. This means that the term of this Area 3 M&R Contract will be shortened and will have a new end date of 5th June 2028 instead of 31st October 2029. The amended Contract estimated value is £288,720,000.

Procedure rationaleThe 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: This is a Contract shortening and does not render the Contract materially different; The minor shortening of the Contract would not have changed the outcome of the original procurement as it would not have altered tenders or scores; The shortened Contract will operate on the same terms and pricing so that this does not alter the economic balance of the Contract in favour of the contractor; The change does not considerably alter the scope of the Contract as the works and services provided will remain unchanged; and; This is not a change in contractor. The Deed of Variation ensures continuity of service on the Strategic Road Network and aligns with National Highways' 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 & Response contracts.
