The Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead in the south-east of England has issued a tender valued at £114.8 million for highway maintenance and capital works.

The contract dates for the successful bidder are estimated to be from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2033, with a possible extension to 31 March 2040.

Windsor & Maidenhead says the term of the contract may be extended for two further periods, one of five years and one of two, at the sole option of the authority. Any extension of the contract will be on the terms and conditions agreed in the Initial Term of Service provision unless such terms have been amended with the agreement of both parties.

Windsor & Maidenhead maintains a network consisting of: Road network 632km, Footways 800km, Bridge structures 300+ (of which 167 span greater than 15m), Road drains 26,000, Public rights of way 300km+, Highway trees 40k+.

The road network is split as follows: Motorways and trunk roads 29.2kms, A roads 83.8kms, B roads 68.8kms, C roads 102.6kms, D roads (unclassified) 347.2kms.

Th Royal Borough says that all the above must be maintained in a safe condition (with partners) in spite of the increasing pressures created by increasing traffic volumes, heavier and larger lorries and works carried out by public utilities.

The enquiry deadline is 1pm on 30 May 2025, and the tender submission deadline is 1pm on 24 June 2025.

The estimated decision date for award of the contract is 13 October 2025.

The borough says tenders may be submitted electronically via the submission address: https://public.bravosolution.co.uk
