Replacement of the Term Network Contracts
Integrated Services Arrangements (ISAs) are the next generation in road operational asset management and service delivery.
With the introduction of Term Network Contracts (TNCs), we led the world with our innovative delivery of road maintenance and rehabilitation. At the time, no other agency had applied outcome-based maintenance contracts to such a large road network.
Building on the lessons learnt from the first years of the TNCs and following consultation with internal and external stakeholders, we are proposing a new strategy for the next generation of operational asset management and road services delivery. |
