Summary of the contracting process

National Highways, based in Birmingham, is the buyer for a public procurement process concerning the "T0665 Requirements and Advice for DHSR and Targeted Enhancements for APTR". This tender, under the industry category of Development Consultancy Services (CPV code 73220000), aims to procure consultancy services to introduce requirements for dynamic hard shoulder running (DHSR) into road design standards and assess safety enhancements across a network of roads. The procurement has moved past the tender stage and is marked as complete, with an award phase announced on 4th June 2025. The contract spans from 29th May 2025 to 31st March 2027, with a total value of £349,100.76 GBP. This selective procurement was executed through a call-off from a framework agreement.

This procurement offers opportunities for large consultancy firms experienced in safety evaluations and road design enhancements to engage with significant state infrastructure projects. The work requires technical expertise in traffic management and safety assessments, making it ideal for businesses with a strong background in civil engineering and transport consultancy. Although a large enterprise, National Highways has indicated a suitability for SMEs, suggesting an openness to smaller consultancies with niche experience or innovative solutions in road safety improvements. Successful involvement in such processes might bolster a firm's profile in public infrastructure consultation, facilitating further growth and capability building.

Notice Information

Notice Title

T0665 Requirements and Advice for DHSR and Targeted Enhancements for APTR

Notice Description

National Highways Safety, Engineering and Standards' Road Design Group (the Client) is procuring technical consultancy services for: 1) The introduction of requirements and advice for dynamic hard shoulder running (DHSR) schemes (also known simply as dynamic hard shoulder) into Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) document GD 301; and 2) A network wide review of prevailing collision trends and cluster locations on APTR, with a view to determining what measures, ranging from lower cost to higher cost, would be the most effective in improving safety in general. New requirements and advice for DHSR will be based on the content of IAN 111 and 112; however, there are technical gaps and disparities between features common to both contemporary All Lane Running (ALR) schemes and legacy DHSR schemes that will need to be resolved as part of this project.
