What is being bought

Published requirement description

THIS IS NOT AN INVITATION TO TENDER Please note all information provided is indicative and for information purposes only.

Rutland County Council (the Council) is undertaking a soft market testing exercise, with the aim of providing information to and requesting feedback from the highway industry. The Council is especially keen to explore:

  • The contract options and delivery models
  • Incentivisation of the delivery
  • The implications of the government’s drive for social value
  • The level of background information required by the market to prepare a potential bid
  • Retaining flexibility in delivery mechanisms to take account of improved technologies and to reflect changes in regulations over a long-term contract
  • Introducing services to this contract currently undertaken by RCC or others

The Council’s intention is to undertake a procurement exercise that is compliant with the Public Contract Regulations 2015 and advertise through “Find a Tender”, for a Term Maintenance Contract (TMC). The operational service delivery elements would commence on 1st June 2024.

Responses should be submitted via ProContract www.eastmidstenders.org ↗ by 12:00noon on 19th November 2021. Please note that participation (or lack of) will not (dis)advantage any potential bidder for future tender opportunities.
