In 2018 the Road Administration took a step that is important to the entire road main- tenance market when it decided to test the inspection of road maintenance by order- ing it on open market conditions on the basis of a public procurement.

The substantive goal of the pilot project was to find a contractual Said pilot project was extremely important to the Road Administra- partner, who would supervise the activities of the maintenance part- tion because it was the first time the inspection of road maintenance ner outside the working hours, at weekends and on public holidays. was ordered from an independent entity on the open market instead An authorisation contract was entered into with AS Taalri Varahaldus of the agency’s own employees. Similar to the supervision of road as a result of a public procurement. construction, it meant that the service of maintenance supervision moved to the private sector. The pilot project was a success and gave The pilot project assigned the contractor AS Taalri Varahaldus the the push for the follow-up project of supervision of winter mainte- task to supervise the performance of the national road maintenance nance in 2019 on the national roads of the entire country. contract in Pärnu County, West Region, during the winter months. The supervision was carried out at weekends and on public holidays over a period of five months from 1 November 2018 to 31 March 2019. The supervision inspected the guarantee of the requirements for the condition of national roads and the compliance of maintenance with requirements and the effective maintenance contract.
