Ringway Jacobs’ winning bid for the five-year contract shaved £5m from the previous price.
Cheshire East councillor Rod Menlove, responsible for environmental services, said: “It has been a busy and challenging 14-month procurement process. I am very pleased with the outcome, which is down to an extensive, open and transparent consultation. The highways service is a vast and vital part of Cheshire East Council.
“Ringway Jacobs is a forward-thinking company with clear objectives as to how highways services can be delivered efficiently at a local level. The new contract will be a streamlined one, combining excellent service with financial savings. This new five-year contract will deliver savings in excess of £1m per year.”
Ringway Jacobs managing director Bill Taylor said: “This is an exciting time for Ringway Jacobs, Cheshire East Council and their road users. We have enjoyed the procurement process and I feel we understand the needs of Cheshire East Council, allowing us to deliver the key services whilst understanding local priorities and bringing about efficiencies in the way we deliver them.”
