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.

- Framework details
- All consultants bidding for a place on the MCRSAF will be required to complete the pricing schedule set out in the ITQ3 Quotation document. The schedule requires bidders to provide fee ceiling prices for RSA stage 1, 2, and 3, for small, medium, and large/complex schemes. This pricing will form part of the evaluation of a consultant’s bid. The Authority will not be paying disbursements as part of the award of commissions under this framework, such as travel costs. All consultants must ensure that any such costs are built into their schedule of rates set out in the completed pricing schedule. The schedule of rates completed as part of the consultants bid to gain a place on the MCRSAF must be used when consultants submit their bids for any commissions offered, whether via direct award or mini competition. Where the Authority deems that a bid submitted has not used the consultants previously submitted schedule of rates they reserve the right to discount the bid received and not offer the commission award to that consultant.
