Barnet Council has appointed nine contractors to a new four-year highway maintenance framework worth around £75m.
The council said the framework will be used for works covering both carriageway and footway maintenance, drainage, signs and markings, and traffic safety and provides delivery resilience, giving it compliant access to the market on a flexible, no guarantee of call-off basis.
The Framework Agreements began in June for four years, with the option to extend for a further two years.
Alan Schneiderman, cabinet member for environment and climate change, said: ‘Well-maintained roads and pavements are safer for everyone. That’s why we have agreed to invest an additional £8m in our highways over the next two years.
‘We’re delighted to have agreed the Highways Maintenance Works Framework Agreement as part of our commitment to maintaining the quality of our roads and footways and tackling potholes and other issues for our residents.’
