## Description
Essex County Council (ECC) has begun scoping out the challenges and opportunities for the highways service in Essex beyond the current contract, which runs to the end of March 2027. The council is looking carefully at what service will be required from April 2027 to deliver ECC’s priorities in maintaining and improving the network of highways across the county, as well as contributing to the council’s aspirations around the environment, climate change and net zero, and levelling up the economy.
As part of this work, a series of hybrid (online and in-person) market engagement events are being planned to allow businesses delivering highways maintenance solutions to find out more about where ECC is in this discovery process, and will be an opportunity for council officers working on the programme to listen and learn about what the industry has to offer, in terms of new technology and innovation, sustainability, decarbonisation, social value, and potential income generation opportunities… to name a few.
The first of these engagement events will be held in early July 2023, where the highways industry is invited to learn more about working with ECC, the council's ambitions and commitments. Please register your interest to obtain further information about the launch event.
