Westminster City Council has appointed FM Conway Limited to deliver an integrated highways and public realm contract covering the repair, maintenance, renewal and improvement of highways infrastructure and associated assets.
The scope includes carriageway resurfacing and footway re-paving; street lighting renewals; security and hostile vehicle mitigation; routine and reactive works; minor works and projects, including public realm improvements; bridges and structures; statues and monuments; and drainage works as further detailed in the Contract Notice and contract documents.
The contract also includes design and professional services, structural and other inspections, regulatory and operational support, pipe subway and tunnel management, and the provision and management of highways and traffic software systems and data. It provides for relevant works and services on land outside the public highway, including housing estates, schools and other locations within the contractual scope. Furthermore, due to the term of the Contract and the nature of the contract, the Council reserves the right to include additional supporting and/or related works and services in the scope during the term of the contract and in accordance with its terms.
The contract uses the NEC4 Term Service Contract, Main Option A, with bespoke amendments. The separate Audit and Asset Management Contract is outside this award. Additional information: The estimated value is £725,000,000 excluding VAT for the initial eight years and six months, plus £525,000,000 excluding VAT for extensions of up to four years, giving £1,250,000,000 excluding VAT in total. These estimates include provision for indexation. Actual expenditure depends on the types and volumes of work instructed, budgets and contractual indexation and may be higher or lower. The est

- Review procedure
The Contracting Authority will incorporate a minimum 10 day calendar day standstill period at the point information on the award of the contact is communicated to tenderers. The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 nº 102) (as amended) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be started within 30 days beginning with the date when the aggrieved party first knew or ought to have known that grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen.
The Court may extend the time limit for starting proceedings where the Court considers that there is a good reason for doing so but not so as to permit proceedings to be started more than 3 months after that date. Where a contract has not been entered into, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the Contracting Authority to amend any document and may award damages. If the contract has been entered into the Court may only award damages or, where the contract award procedures have not been followed correctly, declare the contract to be “ineffective”. In accordance with Regulation 86 (Notices of decisions to award a contract), Regulation 87 (Standstill Period) and Regulations 91 (Enforcement of duties through the Court) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended).
Publisher note: This award follows a competitive procedure with negotiation under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract was completed on 15 September 2026, with service commencement on 1 October 2026.
