Description

Since the introduction of a new type of maintenance contract in 2001 by the Highways Agency there have been some improvements in the quality and delivery to budget of maintenance on England's motorways and trunk roads. However, costs have risen, with those for routine maintenance increasing since 2002-03 by 11 per cent above inflation. Expenditure on planned maintenance has risen overall by 5.5 per cent above inflation. By using Managing Agent Contractor (MAC) contracts, the Highways Agency appoints a private supplier to be responsible for the design and delivery of road maintenance in a particular area of England for a period of four or five years, with the option to extend this to seven years. This report identifies shortcomings in the way the Agency manages these contracts. The Agency has focused on checking that the private companies are complying with the contractual requirements rather than the costs or the quality of the work done. The Agency is only now beginning to exploit the good visibility of costs within these contracts, so that it can challenge contractors' costings and establish benchmarks for continuous improvement. The Agency has also not pursued minimising the whole life costs of maintenance work as strongly as it might. The Highways Agency has a diminishing number of staff with the skills necessary to manage the MAC contracts.
