Decision details

KCC is the statutory Authority responsible for the delivery of highways services to Kent residents. Many of these services are delivered through a Highways Term Maintenance Contract (HTMC) with AMEY. The current contract expires in August 2018. Alongside this, the Machine Resurfacing Contract (MRC) provided by Eurovia is also due to end in June 2018. Following a commissioning review of these services, it is proposed to extend the HTMC for a period of two years and to re-procure the MRC.

Note: Due to a change of Cabinet Member since the publication of the proposed decision in December 2017, the Leader and Cabinet Member for Traded Services and Health Reform took the decision. This change will be reflected in the signed Record of Decision.

As Leader and Cabinet Member for Traded Services and Health Reform I agree to :

•     give approval for awarding a two year extension with Amey until 31 August 2020;

•    in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Planning, Highways, Transport and Waste delegate authority to the Corporate Director for Growth, Environment and Transport to award the final available year extension with Amey up to 31 August 2021;

•    approve the procurement of the Road Asset Renewal Contract and in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Planning, Highways, Transport and Waste delegate authority to the Corporate Director for Growth, Environment and Transport to approve the award of the subsequent contract to the preferred bidder; and

•   in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Planning, Highways, Transport and Waste delegate authority to the Corporate Director for Growth, Environment and Transport to award extensions of the Road Asset Renewal Contract in accordance with the possible extension clauses within the contract.
