What is being bought2 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionKent County Council (the Council) is the largest county council in England covering an area of 3 500 km2. It has an annual expenditure of over GBP 900 million on goods and services and a population of 1.3 million. The Council provides a wide range of personal and strategic services on behalf of its residents, operating in partnership with 12 district councils and 305 parish/town councils. The Council is responsible for maintaining over 8 700 km of carriageways and 6 300 km of footways across the County.
The framework is to enable the procurement and delivery of significant highway infrastructure development, civil engineering works and associated major value constructions works. The specific works and services that may be procured under the framework cannot be clearly defined at this stage, however the nature and types of works that may be required may include highway civil engineering works, contractors design and additional building works associated with civil engineering projects if required. The framework will cover the South East of England.
There is no guarantee of work within this opportunity and the Council reserves the right to competitively tender any future project it deems appropriate. Call-off arrangement will be based on the NEC 3/4 suite of contracts.
Schemes will be awarded on an individual basis either through direct award or mini competition procedures. This framework will support the highway and transportation business to deliver contracts that cannot be commissioned through its other agreements. This will be open to other government organisations.

Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 100
- Price: 100
- Price carries 100 of 200 points: a 10% discount moves about 10 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Highway Civils Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
