## Description
The Highways Contract is for the contractor to develop, with the Council, a high performing comprehensive highways service. The Highways Contract encompasses highway maintenance, design, construction, transport planning consultancy, with other services including but not limited to vehicle and grounds maintenance.
On 13 July 2010 the Council entered into the Highways Contract with Atkins Limited ("Atkins") to provide the above works following a tender process commenced by contract notice 2008/S 210-279078 dated 29 October 2008. The Highways Contract is for a contract period of 10 years commencing 1 April 2010, extendable by up to a further 10 years. So far, the contract has been extended by three years so that the contract period expires end of March 2023. The values set out at II.1.7 of this Contract Award Notice represent the estimated remaining value of the Highways Contract across the possible remaining term.
In 2013 Atkins contracted to sell its highways maintenance business to Skanska Construction UK Limited ("Skanska"). The sale proceeded by way of an asset sale and included the plant and equipment required to operate the highways maintenance business of Atkins, the transfer of leases or rights to use properties and facilities previously used by the highways maintenance business, and the transfer of approximately 1,200 employees, including around 80 in the central management and business support functions. It also included the transfer of customer contracts, including the Highways Contract with the Council. The Highways Contract between the Council and Atkins permitted assignment by Atkins of the benefit of the Contract with the consent of the Council. Atkins requested consent to assign the benefit of the Contract to Skanska and the Council consented to such assignment. The Highways Contract also provided that the original Provider should remain legally responsible for performance of the Contract, even if the benefit of the Contract is assigned. The Council relied on this provision.
A VEAT notice was published in OJEU in September 2013.
