Highways England may consider amending the duties listed above and may remove or amend these as appropriate during the contract period.

The service period for the maintenance and response contract is for a duration of 15 years. Therefore, to continually ensure the validity and appropriateness of the community objectives, the scope, costs and also that the contractor remains the "right fit" for Highways England and the Community, 3 yearly service review periods have been introduced. The Contractors Accepted Plan will be modified at these periods to ensure the contractor understands and is committed to provide a service to reflect Highways England's changing aims and expectations over the service period.
