## 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 Cumbria & Lancashire (National Highways Area 13) (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 A69 from the M6 Junction to the County boundary into the Contract which is currently maintained under a Design Build Finance & Operate ("DBFO") contract which is due to expire on 31 March 2026. Consequently the total value of the Contract will increase by approximately 59%. It will also shorten the Contract which will have a new end date of 6 June 2029 instead of 31 March 2032 in order to align with the procurement process for the next Maintenance & Response contracts.
