Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "1-801 Standardised Family of Bases" was conducted by Highways England, focusing on research and development services within the construction industry. The tender period concluded on 7th May 2019, with the contract period starting on 16th July 2019 and ending on 31st October 2019. The initiative aims to enhance safety and efficiency in the Smart Motorways Programme by providing a standardised solution to drive familiarity and reduce design-related delays. The contract was awarded through a selective procurement method, specifically as a call-off from an existing framework agreement, with a total value of £20,665.

This contract provides significant opportunities for companies involved in innovation and design within the construction sector, particularly those that specialise in standardised solutions, research, and development services. Businesses that are agile in their operations and can demonstrate innovative practices in safety and efficiency improvements will be well-positioned to compete in similar tender processes. Given the nature of the work, larger firms with experience in large-scale infrastructure projects may find this to be an advantageous area to explore for future growth.
