Lot Information
Lot 1
The efficiency delivery partner contract will help support a centralised programme for delivering change to realise the required efficiency outcomes in National Highways. The contract will challenge, advise, and support National Highways as it develops, implements, embeds and realises the benefits of the programme, whilst leaving a sustainable legacy of change and improved capability throughout the company. The key objective of the programme is the tangible improvement in National Highways' performance in relation to Six Themes: 1: Integrated and flexible capital delivery 2: Supply chain aligned to new delivery model and NH ambitions 3: Mature asset lifecycle ownership 4: Digitally enabled organisation that delivers on business requirements and customer expectations 5: Proactive control of our network 6: Environmental sustainability deeply embedded in what we do The programme will be centrally led with the following design principles: -Led by National Highways employees from across the company, with the efficiency programme delivery partner supporting the activity -Overseen by one Programme Office coordinating and maintaining the single source of the truth through a single way of working across all themes with a clear governance structure. -Focussed on truly cross-cutting initiatives that impact across multiple directorates and functional areas of our business -Building capabilities and ensuring change is fully embedded and sustained becoming business as usual -A focus on long-term transformation and measurable outcomes rather than short-term cost savings This efficiency programme is a self-financing model, with a focus on delivering efficiency targets in both capital and operational expenditure within the RIS3 settlement. The investment made will be recovered from the value of efficiencies made through delivering the programme within the 5-year period. Work under the contract will be issued as tasks with defined deliverables and performance measures. Allocation of future tasks will be predicated on continued good performance. Further details are available in the procurement documents.
