FM Conway Limited
Croydon Council is scrutinising FM Conway's contract management and planning a new procurement process for highways maintenance.
Croydon Council's Scrutiny Children & Young People Sub-Committee flagged the ongoing management of the FM Conway contract for closer examination in June 2026. Councillor Michael Neal, Chair of the Sub-Committee, highlighted the importance of scrutinising contracts, particularly those subject to yearly renewal, as part of its future work programme.
In March 2026, Croydon Council's Scrutiny Streets & Environment Sub-Committee extended the highways maintenance contract with FM Conway for an additional year, running until September 2027. This extension is contingent on negotiating further improvements, particularly regarding cost savings and financial penalties for underperformance. A new procurement process for highways maintenance is planned to launch in late 2026.
FM Conway Limited is a contractor providing highway and transport services, with contracts managed by Croydon Council. The extension of the current contract allows for detailed service specification work and member engagement before a new procurement process begins. A decision on the new contract is expected in spring 2027.
