II.1.4) Short description
Liverpool City Council (the “Council”) has appointed multiple suppliers to a framework to deliver highways planned works (the “Highways Planned Works Framework”). This Framework comprises two lots: Lot 1 for works up to a value of £1.5m and Lot 2 for works with a value greater than £1.5m. The Framework Agreement is available to use by a number of other authorities. This process commenced with a pre-market engagement exercise notified to the market by PIN ref: 2024/S 000-012838 on 19 April 2024. A pre-market engagement event was held on 5 June. This notice marks the award of the procurement to appoint contractors to the Highways Planned Works Framework. The Council’s vision for the future of travel in Liverpool is one where people default to walking or cycling for their journeys and choose to avoid using cars. As such, and in the context of this Highways Planned Works Framework, the Council is focussed on:
1. delivering green bus routes;
2. creating a network of traffic-free green active travel corridors;
3. developing travel plans for schools and larger businesses; and
4. expanding the network of electric vehicle charging points.
