Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council has awarded a contract for the A2290 MRN Corridor Package Strategic Outline Case (SOC) under the MRN investment programme. This contract involves improvements to two junctions on the A2290 and two on the A22, aimed at creating a robust case for funding from the Department for Transport (DfT). The project, classified under infrastructure works consultancy services (CPV 71311300), is located in the South East of the United Kingdom. The contract was awarded on 5th December 2023, with a value of £118,535 and will run from 1st December 2023 to 30th September 2024. The procurement stage is complete, and it utilised a direct procurement method under a single tender action (below threshold).

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses skilled in infrastructure consultancy, particularly those that can contribute to strategic transport initiatives. While the procurement was a direct award to Jacobs U.K. Limited, businesses specialising in similar fields can anticipate future opportunities as the project progresses to the Outline Business Case (OBC) stage. Companies well-versed in meeting updated DfT guidelines and adept at handling the evolving economic situation, including inflation adjustments, would be well-suited to engage in similar procurement processes. While SMEs and VCSEs are not specified as suitable for this contract, larger organisations with relevant expertise are likely to find considerable growth potential in these areas.

Notice Information

Notice Title

A2290 MRN Corridor Package Strategic Outline Case (SOC)

Notice Description

Funding is required under the MRN investment programme for improvements to two junctions on the A2290 and two on the A22. The SOC will set out a robust case for the scheme, demonstrating how the proposal has a strong strategic fit and delivers value for money so the project can be considered by Department for Transport (DfT) to be taken forward to Outline Business Case (OBC) stage. This direct award will enable the supplier to finalise outstanding reports and SOC dimensions including updates following updated DfT guidance and the evolving economic situation in relation to inflation. A modification has been made to the contract in order to increase the value to cover additional works now required to ensure that the business case that has been started, can be completed to meet more up to date guidance from DfT on transport related business cases Additional information: Value and contract duration may increase should the DfT come back with additional questions once the SOC has been submitted, however the estimated Contract Value is not expected to rise significantly.
