Description
The Authority wishes to put in place a core highways maintenance contract that facilitates the delivery of innovative solutions, promotes recycling and re-use, and reduces the environmental impact of the services delivered throughout the lifetime of the contract.
The new Term Service Contract (TSC) will replace the existing highway maintenance contract at the end of March 2024. In combination with the TSC, there will be three other contracts that will deliver surfacing, surface dressing, and new assets. All of these contracts will be tendered separately. All contracts will support the Authority's Climate Emergency Strategy and commitment to being carbon neutral by 2030.
The Authority looks to establish collaborative ways of delivering the service to the residents of Somerset in a cost effective, flexible, and agile way, maximising the potential for success for the Authority and the appointed Contractor.
The objective of the Authority is to develop a suite of new contracts which will deliver the
following outcomes:
• A network that is adapted and resilient to climate change with a reduced carbon output, both in usage and maintenance to contribute to the commitment for Somerset to be carbon neutral by 2030.
• A safe, serviceable, and sustainable network that is fit for purpose for all users under all conditions and supports the development of the local economy.
• A service based on the intelligent client model that develops and sustains collaborative partnerships that deliver the objectives of all partners.
• A flexible and agile service that attracts and retains the best people and embraces best practice and new technologies to enable innovation.
• Sustain a financially resilient service that adopts robust asset management principles and delivers best value with the resources available.
• Optimise service efficiency and maximise income from commercialisation and external funding.
• A service that maximises social value and provides valuable local opportunities for individuals and businesses.
• An informed community that has high public satisfaction and is engaged and enabled to do more for themselves.
