## Summary

Highways England has awarded a contract titled "2-290a Project Controls Support" to provide specialist Project Controls support services aimed at enhancing their Project Management Office capabilities. The contract, valued at £226,280.93, emerged from a selective procurement process through a framework agreement and is classified under the industry category of research and development services and related consultancy services. The contract commenced on 12th February 2021 and will run until 15th July 2021, with a specific focus on delivering essential improvements based on an independent review. The project is located in the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in project management, consultancy, and related services. Businesses with expertise in enhancing project controls or improving performance measurement baselines would be particularly suited for similar future tenders. Engaging in this type of work not only contributes to the efficiency of public projects but also enhances the competitive profile of participating companies within the public sector.

## Notice

Highways England is looking to set up a contract for the provision of specialist Project Controls support services to enhance Project Management Office ('PMO') capability and capacity. This service is to close out the actions recently identified within the independent baseline management review, so all the projects have a clear Performance Measurement Baseline ('PMB') in place. This represents a one-off intervention that will conclude the Continuous Improvement ('CI') Integrated Project Controls embedment programme, and handover the same to the projects and PMOs to manage the PMB.
