DfI has published a Road Asset Management Frameworks - Procurement Essentials document. 

The department is implementing a new procurement strategy for roads construction and other related transport/civils works valued up to £5 million and road maintenance activities.

In March 2023, the Department published the Procurement Enhancement Programme (PEP) procurement strategy, developed to provide an efficient and value for money procurement route for the delivery of road asset maintenance. 

A key output of this strategy is the introduction of a suite of eleven Road Asset Management (RAM) Frameworks covering all roads maintenance and improvement works valued at up to £5 million.  

The Department intends to invite tenders for the first of these frameworks, Surfacing Framework A this month.
