The National Highways Scheme Delivery Framework (SDF), established in 2021, brings together 50 supply chain partners to carry out up to £3.6 billion worth of renewals to keep England’s motorways and major A roads running safely and smoothly over a 6 year period.
The National Highways Pavement Delivery Framework (PDF), announced in 2022, brings together 12 supply chain partners to carry out up to £1.3 billion worth of contracts to maintain road surfaces on motorways and A roads in England.
The Supply Chain School is supporting SDF and PDF suppliers and contractors with training workshops to increase understanding, skills and performance on several key sustainability issues.
