Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Transport has awarded a new contract titled "East Midlands Technical Advisor" that falls under the research and development consultancy services category. The procurement process was initiated through a selective method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was published on 19th December 2018, and the contract will commence on 1st April 2018, concluding on 31st October 2019. This contract, valued at £1,948,600, requires the Technical Advisors to support the development of essential evaluation resources during the project’s timeframe, with critical deliverables needed as the current advisory contract is set to expire on 31st March 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those equipped to manage large-scale projects and deliver substantial evaluation support. Companies that are adept at sourcing and coordinating evaluators, preferably those with prior experience in public sector procurement, would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts. The engagement of such Technical Advisors is crucial for the successful execution of the Franchise Competition, thus opening avenues for growth in the consultancy sector.

Notice Information

Notice Title

East Midlands Technical Advisor

Notice Description

Due to timing constraints within the Franchise Competition project timetable (publication of the ITT is scheduled for mid-day May 2018) the project is in urgent need for the award of a new technical advisory contract through a Direct Award; the current Technical Advisor contract value limit will be met at the end of March 2018. There is a significant dependency on the work currently being undertaken (supporting the development of the OBC and ITT) and to be undertaken (substantial work during the Evaluation Period and identification/resourcing of Evaluators; August 2018 - April 2019) by the Technical Advisors for successful delivery of the competition. The Evaluation Period will require a significant number of Evaluators to be resourced; internally there is a very limited pool of evaluators due to resourcing issues with the Department and parallel evaluation times with other Franchise Competitions. The Technical Advisors will be tasked with sourcing up to 75% of the Evaluation resource required for the Evaluation phase (this will be from both internal to the Technical Advisors and SME resources).
