Heidelberg Materials UK has extended its partnership with Wirral Borough Council after successfully tendering for its highways maintenance contract for another three years.
The company has worked as the council’s main surfacing contractor since 2014, initially through Bam Nuttall and, since 2019, directly with the highways team at the council.
Scott Cooper, contracting MD at Heidelberg, said: “This is fantastic news and will build on the successful relationship we have built with Wirral Borough Council over the last decade.
“It signals the next step in our collaborative working arrangement to deliver a well maintained and sustainable highway network where we will continue to explore the use of lower carbon asphalt solutions.”
Brian Smith, senior highway maintenance and street lighting manager at Wirral Borough Council, added: “The company presented excellent quality statements which clearly demonstrated strong technical ability, value for money and a commitment to sustainability.”
The agreement has a total value of around £9m.
