Road Safety Audit Framework

Medway Council (‘the Authority’) is a unitary authority based in Kent, consisting of the main towns of Strood, Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, and Rainham. The highway network in the Medway towns covers approximately 840km, with 110km of A roads, 37km of B roads, 97km of C road, and 596km of unclassified roads.

A safe and effective transport network is therefore key to Medway’s sustainability, both economically and environmentally. To help achieve this the Council are inviting applications to join Medway Council’s Road Safety Audit Framework (MCRSAF).

The MCRSAF will allow the Authority, as the Overseeing Organisation, to quickly and efficiently commission an outside contractor to undertake road safety audits on behalf of the Authority for highway schemes and interventions. The aim is to have a pool of high-quality auditors that the Authority can call upon to undertake Road Safety Audits quickly, cost effectively, to a high standard, and in accordance with the requirements and methodology of GG119 of the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges, with the Authority acting as the Overseeing Organisation.

The Framework Contract is anticipated to commence on 1st November 2026 and will continue for a period of two years, with the option of extending the Framework Contract for an additional two years thereafter, via two separate one year extensions.
