Consolidated London Highways Alliance Contracts to deliver road maintenance and major infrastructure improvements while saving up to £450m
- New way of working will help deliver jobs, innovation, and provide around 250 apprenticeship opportunities
- Fresh approach will also encourage more than £2bn of investment in road infrastructure
Transport for London (TfL) and London boroughs have awarded four new area-based joint highways contracts that could save up to £450m during the next eight years, helping to drive through more than £2bn of investment in road infrastructure.
The new contract frameworks, developed jointly by TfL and the London Boroughs, will cover both road maintenance and the design and construction of new schemes, and, for the first time, can apply to all roads across London.
TfL will use these frameworks for all TfL Road Network (TLRN) highway contracts from April 2013, which will be worth up to £1.2bn during the next eight years, and has also written into the Local Implementation Plan guidance that boroughs will be expected to use the new arrangements where they represent better value than existing arrangements.
It is expected that up to 12 London boroughs will utilise these contracts for a range of maintenance services from April 2013.
As more borough's individual contracts come up to renewal and TfL funds more major borough road schemes, more contracts are expected to be delivered through this framework, raising the total value of the contracts to around £2.6bn.
Each framework, which will run for eight years from April 2013 until the end of March 2021, will cover specific geographic areas of London.
