Devon and Somerset County Councils have teamed up with Plymouth City Council to run a joint procurement exercise, although each council has its own lot for contractors to chase.
The largest spend over the period will be delivered by Devon County Council, with the highway term maintenance contract expected to be worth £656m. Somerset aims to spend £394m, while Plymouth highways upkeep is expected to cost £169m over 10 years.
Selected firms will take over maintenance regimes in April 2017, after a prior six-month contract mobilisation programme to allow for a smooth transition to a contractor.
