Lincolnshire County Council has selected 13 contractors for a four-year highways framework worth up to £150m to deliver road improvements, maintenance schemes and resurfacing works across the county.
The contract renewal sees a shake-up of firms with contractors JN Bentley, Colas and Keltbray not renewing and surfacing suppliers Aggregates Industries, Breedon and Cemex Paving dropping out.
The framework will cover everything from junction upgrades, drainage works and bridge refurbishments to new highways infrastructure, roundabouts, access roads and resurfacing of Lincolnshire’s strategic road network.

The council will award all future work packages through competitive call-offs under the framework, with contractors bidding against each other for individual schemes as they arise.
The new framework runs until January 2030 and will be used to procure a steady pipeline of highway projects through mini-competitions across three lots covering general civil engineering works and major resurfacing schemes.
