en.Wedoany.com Reported - Marlborough Highways has secured a £150 million highway maintenance contract with West Berkshire Council in the UK, with a seven-year term starting this October and an option to extend for an additional three years.

According to Construction Enquirer, the Essex-based contractor beat competitors including Ringway, VolkerHighways, M Group Highways, and Costain in the bidding process. West Berkshire spends over £15 million annually on highway maintenance, covering emergency and planned works, winter maintenance, and asset management. Additionally, the region implements a capital program including road improvements, safety projects, and active travel initiatives.

The contract has an initial value of £150 million, but the total amount could double to £300 million if the planned local government reorganization in Berkshire and Oxfordshire expands the council's responsibilities. Under the agreement, Marlborough Highways will fulfill the council's statutory highway authority functions and be responsible for maintaining roads and transport assets across the region.

The contract is expected to run from October 1, 2026, to September 2033, with an option to extend until 2036.
