Highways Agency procurement chiefs have shortlisted contractors for a new collaborative delivery framework, which promises the biggest shake-up in roads procurement for years.

The new-style collaborative delivery framework will be used to deliver between £4bn to £5bn of schemes over the next 4–6 years.

Tenders were invited from shortlisted bidder this week and will be returned by late May.

After a nail-biting four or five months for the industry roads contractors winning firms will be announced in the Autumn.

Work will be split between four lots covering high-value, medium and below £25m projects and engineering design services.

For the prized major projects framework two of the seven shortlisted contractors are set to miss out on £3.2bn of project spoils over the programme.

The new smaller panels of contractors will deliver projects like the A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon, motorway widening and bypass schemes, junctions, super pinch points and asset renewal works.
