Kier Highways<\/a> has secured an 11-year contract to maintain the technology assets across the Highways England<\/a> Area 13 network<\/h2>\n

Kier Highways has delivered the maintenance and response contract for Highways England for the last three years.<\/p>\n

This follows the end of the North West Regional Technology Maintenance Contract and is part of Highways England\u2019s drive to integrate technology maintenance into all maintenance and response contracts for a more consistent approach to maintaining the asset.<\/p>\n

Four employees have joined the Area 13 contract as part of this, bringing technology expertise into the team<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prior to Kier having the Area 13 Maintenance and Response contract, it maintained the network under the Managing Agent Contractor Contract.<\/p>\n

The Kier Highways Area 9 contract first trialled this new integrated model as part of Progressive Asset Delivery last year and its Area 4 contract<\/a> will start the integration of technology maintenance into the M&R contract next year.<\/p>\n

Maintaining the network and delivering efficiencies<\/h3>\n

Matt Smith, senior technology maintenance manager at Kier Highways said: \u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased to welcome the new technology engineers to the Area 13 M&R team.<\/p>\n

\u201cTechnology is a key element of keeping our network operational and safe, and I\u2019m confident that the skills our new colleagues bring with them will help build on the successes we\u2019ve achieved in the region to date.<\/p>\n

\u201cIntegrating the technology asset will allow us to deliver a full turnkey solution in maintaining our network, as well as delivering efficiencies<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dave Dickinson, Highways England\u2019s regional change lead in the North West, said: \u201cWe are pleased to have worked closely with Kier Highways to successfully implement this change of including the maintenance for roadside technology assets within the Area 13 M&R contract.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe North West region was the first Highways England region to add roadside technology maintenance into the Asset Delivery operating model and M&R contracts which will result in safety, efficiency and customer service benefits for our customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d like to thank Kier Highways for the help in delivering a smooth transition and the knowledge learned through mobilising this change will now be used to make the same change in all other Highways England regions in the near future.\u201d<\/p>\n
