Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "S30016 Readiness Report" was managed by National Highways and focused on development consultancy services within the industry's category. This tender aimed to assess the preparedness of a project transitioning from a government organisation to a project-financed entity. The services were required across various locations, including the United Kingdom, Europe, and British Overseas Territories. The procurement process followed a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and was completed on 22nd August 2025. The contract is valued at £70,000 and is set for a period between 22nd August and 23rd September 2025.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in development consultancy services, particularly those capable of offering a focused, risk-based evaluation for large infrastructure projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could find these types of contracts especially beneficial if they possess expertise in construction and operations readiness assessments. Additionally, businesses adept at implementing management structures and resource capabilities, as well as those experienced in conducting structured interviews and targeted workshops, would be well-suited to compete for future opportunities of this kind.

Notice Information

Notice Title

S30016 Readiness Report

Notice Description

This Pre-Due Diligence Readiness Assessment is to deliver a focused, risk-based evaluation of the project's preparedness to transition from a Govt organisation to a project financed asset entity (LTC-Co). Over an initial four-week period, a dedicated team is to undertake a deep dive into construction and operations readiness, assessing management structures, schedules, resource capabilities, contractor strategies, health and safety compliance, quality assurance, and operational handover planning. This approach facilitates early identification of significant risks and gaps, enabling timely action to be taken ahead of formal due diligence and financing. The assessment will be informed by structured interviews, comprehensive document reviews, and targeted workshops with key LTC delivery and interface leads, culminating in clear, actionable recommendations to support a successful transition.
