Highways England tells A14 bidders to up their game

摘要

A £292M roads contract is being retendered because Highways England was dissatisfied with the quality of bids it received. The deal to widen a section of the A14 from Swavesey to Milton in Cambridgeshire was thrown back at contractors on lot 3b of the client body's much-heralded Collaborative Delivery Framework. Contracts will now be awarded later this summer. Highways England, launched in April to transform the way roads projects are carried out, originally put three legs of the A14 project out to tender in one of the first major procurement processes under the new framework.
