Description

The Strategic Road Network (SRN) carries a third of all traffic and two-thirds of
freight, provides business with the means to get its products and services to
their customers, gives access to labour markets and suppliers and encourage
trade and new investment. It is essential to the growth, wellbeing and balance
of the nation's economy.
The weather during winter can have adverse effects on the operation of the SRN
and hence the wider economy. It is therefore imperative that Highways England
remains able to maintain the safe operation of England's highways during
winter conditions, both to fulfil its statutory obligations as Highways Authority
and to ensure that the vital role the SRN plays in the English economy is
resilient to winter weather conditions.
Our requirements - which are subject to change - consists of three tranches,
required as follows:
- 69 vehicles during 2021 - 2022
- 69 vehicles during 2022 - 2023
- 108 vehicles during 2023 - 2024
