The new ‘Routes to Market Regional Delivery Partnership’ contracts incentivise companies to improve safety and reduce traffic delays. Routes to Market represents a fundamental change in the way National Highways deliver road projects. The framework is performance rather than price based, focusing on building the right projects with the best outcomes for road users and the communities they serve.

The work is arranged into 18 packages of schemes, awarded to contractors (delivery integration partners) in bands of up to £100m (lots 1 to 3) and over £100m (lots 4 to 8).

Having previously worked with our contractor on other civil and construction projects, we knew their company had the right company ethos to secure a place on this framework. To ensure this was a winning submission, we carried out market research, to fully understand National Highways key drivers and where these derived from.
