Paul Fleetham, managing director of Tarmac Contracting, said: “This major award reflects our strong working relationship with Connect Plus and our proven track record of close collaboration with network operators to improve network capacity, minimise disruption and prioritise the safety of road users.  

“As well as providing skilled delivery and technical expertise, we will draw on our extensive asphalt plant network in the south east to provide on-demand access to high-quality materials.”

Tarmac’s commitment to working in partnership with Connect Plus and other M25 community members to drive efficiencies and develop new industry leading innovative methods of working were key factors in securing the deal.  The award builds on Tarmac’s previous five-year contract with Connect Plus.

The contract includes resurfacing, milling and joint sealing across the M25 to reduce whole-life costs and minimise maintenance demands on the network.
