A new style framework, worth up to US$543 million (£434 million) will start on 1 April 2017. The Construction Works Framework covers 10 different specialisms of work, is split into 15 separate lots and will run for four years.

The framework covers a range of activities that include renewal work to roads and bridges, and improvement schemes on the Highways England road network. It is part of the Asset Delivery contracts which will see Highways England directly managing both routine maintenance and the delivery of capital renewal and improvement schemes and marks a change from previous way of working, bringing the management of key functions in-house and taking greater control of the road network.
