As the Local Highway Authority, Dorset Council manages approximately 3,795 km of highway network, together with associated assets such as bridges, drainage systems, street lighting, traffic management infrastructure, and elements of coastal defence. In its capacity as Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA), Dorset Council has responsibilities for managing local flood risk from surface water, groundwater, and ordinary watercourses. This includes the inspection, maintenance, and improvement of highway drainage systems, as well as coordination with relevant partners to mitigate flood risk. All works, services, and contracts commissioned by Dorset Council are undertaken within the Council’s administrative boundary and apply to all Dorset Council owned land, assets, and property. Summary of Existing Provision The highway service is delivered through a mixed economy delivery model which involves Dorset Highways working with a wide range of private sector suppliers across multiple Frameworks, contracts and Dynamic Purchasing Systems. The Core Purpose and Strategic Objectives of the Framework The purpose of the proposed Framework is to provide Dorset Council with a compliant, flexible and efficient procurement mechanism for the delivery of highways, flood risk management, and associated infrastructure works and services. The proposed Framework will support the Council in fulfilling its statutory functions as Local Highway Authority and Lead Local Flood Authority through the provision of works, services and goods required to maintain, manage and improve its highway network and related assets.
