Camden’s public realm improvements and maintenance contract runs for an initial four years, but there is an option to extend for a further three years.

VolkerHighways has already been looking after Camden’s highways since 2009 under a previous £6m-a-year deal.

The scope of the work includes public realm safety inspections, reactive and routine maintenance, footpath reconstruction, carriageway resurfacing, traffic schemes and road markings. Street lighting inspections, maintenance and scheme works are also included in this contract. However, soft landscaping, grounds maintenance, winter maintenance, waste collection and litter picking are not part of these works.
