## Summary

Highways England is conducting a procurement process for the project titled "Cat 3 Check for Standard MS4 Accessible Gantry Superstructure Design." This initiative falls under the industry category of research and development services and related consultancy services, specifically aimed at standardisation and modularisation within the Smart Motorways Programme. The procurement method employed is selective, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement, and the contract is currently in the award stage. Key dates include the contract’s period starting from 17th September 2018 until 16th November 2018, with a previous tender period that ended on 23rd August 2018. The project's financial value is approximately £14,991.28.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in engineering and consulting services related to highway infrastructure and transportation systems. Companies that specialise in design verification, structural engineering, or those already experienced in working with public sector frameworks would be particularly well-suited to compete for future similar contracts. Engaging with this procurement process could foster growth by providing avenues to establish long-term relationships with Highways England and enhance capabilities in innovative highway technology.

## Notice

Highways England's Smart Motorways Programme (SMP) Product Development and Innovation team is looking at standardisation and modularisation of products on the network. Following a review of the number of gantries proposed for the next tranches of SMP and particularly MS4 cantilever gantries, this asset was identified as being suitable for standardisation and further development is required to achieve this, particularly in the design stages. With the design now substantially complete, Highways England wish to appoint an independent checker to carry out a Cat 3 check
