Six outfits are chasing a scaled-down highways term maintenance
deal for Lincolnshire County Council.
Aggregate Industries, Lafarge, Mowlem, RMC, Tarmac and the council's in-house team LCR have thrown their hats into the ring for a project now worth up to £42m over six years.
The scheme, known as the principal route network (PRN) framework deal, originally weighed in at up to £90m over the same period. But the project was then readvertised with up to £48m lopped off the original value.
At the time, a council source said: "Someone was over-optimistic about the amount of money available from detrunking. The resources needed to be spread wider than was thought at first."
The PRN project is going forward under the early contractor involvement banner and involves carriageway resurfacing and reconstruction work on principal routes in Lincolnshire.
Initially, the deal will run for at least three years, but there are three options to extend it for up to six years.
