Published requirement descriptionMinor & Major Highways Works & Associated Services Framework
Slough Borough Council is procuring a Highways Works and Associated Services Framework to support the delivery of both minor and major infrastructure projects, alongside reactive maintenance activities across the borough. The procurement is being conducted under the Open Procedure in line with the Procurement Act 2023.
The framework will cover a broad range of highways-related works, including construction projects of varying values, reactive maintenance, carriageway resurfacing, and specialist services such as drainage, bridge inspections, traffic management, and road marking. The works are structured across multiple Lots, enabling suppliers to bid for specific areas aligned to their expertise and capacity.
The estimated framework value is approximately £12.5 million per annum. The contract will be awarded for an initial term of three years, with an option to extend for a further one year, subject to the Council’s discretion.
The framework is intended to provide a flexible and efficient route for the Council (and other eligible bodies) to deliver highways works programmes, ensuring value for money, high-quality service delivery, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Please note: A maximum of five (5) suppliers would be assigned to each lot and sub-lots.

- Technical
- Price
- Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Minor & Major Highways and Associated Services Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 5 suppliers, not a single contract: each call-off is a further competition, so the pricing contest starts after appointment.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
