AI Contract Overview

Birmingham City Council has entered into a variation agreement with Kier Transportation Limited to extend the Interim Services Contract for highways maintenance and associated operational services across the Birmingham network. Originally procured under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and novated from Birmingham Highways Limited to the Council on July 31, 2026, the contract was extended via a direct award to ensure the uninterrupted delivery of critical public services and public safety. This action follows the Department for Transport's decision to withdraw funding for the city's highways PFI project, necessitating an interim solution while the Council procures a long-term alternative. The extended agreement, valued at 120 million pounds excluding VAT, is set to expire on July 31, 2028, with an optional extension available until April 30, 2029. The contractual framework includes a supplemental deed involving Kier Group plc and detailed provisions for the administration and settlement of third-party and insurance recovery claims. These claims are managed through a structured matrix based on monetary thresholds, specifically categorizing claims up to 15,000 pounds, between 15,000 and 50,000 pounds, and those exceeding 50,000 pounds.

Full Description

Kier Transportation Limited ("Kier") previously provided interim highways maintenance and associated operational services across the Birmingham highways network (the "Services") through an Interim Services Contract ("ISC") with Birmingham City Council's ("the Authority") subcontractor, Birmingham Highways Limited ("BHL"). The ISC novated from BHL to the Authority on 31 July 2026. The ISC was originally procured in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Following the Department for Transport's recent decision to withdraw its support for the continued funding of the Authority's highways PFI project, the Authority will procure an alternative long-term solution to replace this project. To enable the procurement of this alternative solution, the Authority requires the continued provision of the Services on an interim basis and therefore proposes to enter into a variation agreement to extend the ISC, such that it will expire on 31 July 2028 (or on 30 April 2029 if the Authority exercises an option to extend the ISC set out in the variation agreement). The variation agreement will therefore ensure the continued uninterrupted delivery of critical public services and the continued safety of the public in accordance with the Authority's statutory duties.
