Amey Highways and BEAR Scotland will know soon whether their
Scottish trunk roads maintenance contracts will be extended beyond
the initial five years.
Amey secured the south-west and south-east deals, while BEAR (Babtie, Ennstone and Ringway) won the north-west and north-east deals in 2001.
Last week a prior information notice from the Scottish Executive appeared in the OJEU. It reveals that the four deals will be re-let in two phases: two regions will be advertised in early 2005 (with a view to starting on site in April 2006); while the other two will appear in the OJEU in 2006 (with a start on site in either 2007 or 2008).
The Scottish Executive would not be drawn on which of the current contracts will be extended and which would be terminated after five years.
In 2003/04, BEAR performed better than Amey Highways, having been served with eight default notices, according to the Performance Audit Group.
Amey was served with 16 default notices during the same period.
