Haringey Council contract secured

  • By Marlborough Highways

Marlborough has been awarded a four-year contract to provide street lighting and minor improvement works for Haringey Council.

The contract between the London Borough of Haringey and Marlborough Highways will begin in October 2019. It is valued at around £4 million. The contract includes maintenance work as well as reactive and ad-hoc capital work providing essential upgrades and maintenance for the Borough to help improve public safety. Marlborough’s Social Value commitments for this contract include; working with preferred local supply chain partners, recruiting local people for awarded work and using work practices that minimise the negative impact on the local environment.

Rob Stranders, Bid Manager at Marlborough commented “We are delighted to have won this contract with Haringey Council and look forward to working with them. Through the tender process we were able to show our commitment to Haringey’s stakeholders and their environment demonstrating value for money through Quality Service delivery.”

Stranders continues “We are also committed to adding opportunities for Haringey people through our Social Value promises and obligations. We take great pride in giving Haringey people real prospects to work on this long term contract.“

Marlborough will now start to build a project team to work exclusively on the Haringey contract. In addition, they will offer the right mix of industry and technical expertise, practical knowledge and leadership skills.

Marlborough already serves five London boroughs including the London Borough of Havering and the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. They have a 25-year experience in every aspect of traditional and contemporary civil engineering work. Street lighting is one of six key business areas for Marlborough; the others being surfacing, highway maintenance, road marking, infrastructure and traffic management.

“One of the things I value most is their very collaborative and transparent team culture. It makes a big difference to have a contractor that wants to work closely with us and is supportive and responsive. With Marlborough, I get a team who are attentive, work collaboratively and honestly with me and don’t lose focus on delivering first class communications and compliance.”
Carly Norris, Project Manager Operations, Hackney Council
“From the design stage, Marlborough has been fundamental in delivering the Broad Lane Square improvements scheme. During the works, not only did the team manage to keep to the programme, but they went the extra mile to ensure attention to detail and came up with innovative solutions to address issues encountered on site. My thanks on behalf of Haringey goes out to Marlborough for their dedication to deliver.”
Dana Rasheed, Project Manager, Haringey Council
“Working alongside our Term Service Contractor Marlborough Highways, we successfully completed renovations to the Crowstone Footbridge. The designs were provided by Marlborough, and the work was unique. The scheme was completed to budget and ahead of its programme duration.”
Neil Handley, Senior Engineer, Southend-on-Sea City Council
“I would like to thank you and your team for your efforts, the Marlborough crews were professional, courteous, and hard working all day and ensured the event went without a hitch. You and the team were a credit to the company, demonstrating commitment and support to the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.”
Nick Davies, Specialist Services Manager, Barking and Dagenham Council
“I just wanted to say what a pleasure it has been to work with Marlborough Highways over the last six months. The quality of work is superb, and there has been some excellent collaboration between Milestone and Marlborough to complete, what at times, has been quite a challenging scheme. I hope to work with Marlborough on another project in the near future.”
Colin Hill, Schemes Manager, Milestone Infrastructure
“Marlborough worked with us in constructing a 1.3km cycle track. There were a number of technical difficulties to overcome, and their gifted foreman worked to propose some innovative solutions to the challenges we faced. The result is a facility that the locals are proud of, providing walkers and cyclists with alternative access to the hospital and nearby school. The scheme was a lot of hard work, but well worth it.”
Rob Venables, NEC Project Manager, Essex County Council
“Marlborough attracts people who take care and have pride in their work. Several gangs of Operatives worked tirelessly for six months to reconstruct drainage networks, lay more than 3km of high quality bespoke granite kerbs and granite channels blocks to ensure positive drainage. The technical compliance, attention to detail and level of quality finish along the entire carriageway was exceptional”.
Mark Chiverrell, Technical Director, Project Centre
“We saw huge benefits in appointing Marlborough as our full service contractor and we’re impressed – they’ve delivered consistent high quality service and superior quality control across every project. Marlborough, provide us with a ‘one-stop’ shop solution – we get the same quality of service and better control across all aspects of the project.”
Darren Bryant, Principal Engineer, Enfield Council
