Ringway has been awarded a contract from Surrey County Council (SCC) to deliver road repairs, resurfacing and specialist structural projects
Ringway will deliver road repairs, resurfacing and specialist structural projects as well as the upkeep of drains, winter gritting and snow clearing.
Ringway also met the criteria to support SCC to achieve its ambition for a net zero Surrey by 2050, due to its environmentally-friendly fleet and materials.
Cabinet member for transport and infrastructure, Matt Furniss, said: “We are very pleased to be working with Ringway to build on the significant investment we have put into our highways in recent years.
“We are always looking at ways to further improve Surrey’s roads and keep our busy county moving whilst improving resident satisfaction.
“Ringway will work with SCC to invest £200m in Surrey’s highways over the next five years which will see improvements to approximately 350 miles of road and 180 miles of pavements.
“This will include the development and adoption of innovative materials, construction techniques and ways of working.
“I would like to thank Kier Highways Limited who have successfully delivered highways activities on behalf of the council over the past eleven years.
“We will work with them to ensure a smooth transition that doesn’t detrimentally affect services for residents.”
Ensuring the best outcome for the residents of Surrey
After a 12-month procurement process which had seven organisations initially express their interests in the contract, the contract was eventually awarded to Ringway.
SCC used the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation process for this procurement, using the process to test and evaluate the potential service providers for the contract.
Mike Notman, Ringway managing director, added: “We are very much looking forward to working with local people, partners and communities, ensuring that Surrey’s roads deliver connectivity and accessibility benefits for local people, as well as supporting the council’s climate change ambitions.”
