Streets for People
Southwark Council is splitting highways maintenance contracts to improve value and specialisation for its Streets for People strategy.
Southwark Council's Executive approved a strategy on 13 October 2026 to divide highways maintenance contracts into two distinct lots. This decision aims to secure better value for money and attract specialist providers for the council's Streets for People strategy, which focuses on improving walking, cycling, and public transport infrastructure.
The contracts will be split into Lot A for reactive maintenance, winter services, and repairs, and Lot B for planned renewal and improvement projects. Councillor James McAsh presented this procurement strategy to the council's Executive.
