## Summary

Highways England, located in Birmingham, has completed a procurement for "Technical Support for European Engagement," valued at £114,426. This project falls under the category of research and development services and related consultancy services. The tender was available until 14th January 2019, with a contract period commencing from 17th January 2019 and lasting until 31st March 2019. The procurement process was conducted through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, aimed at addressing the implications of the UK's departure from the European Union.

This opportunity is particularly beneficial for consultancy firms experienced in European funded projects and transport infrastructure, as it involves supporting Highways England's initiatives and ensuring compliance with EU-related commitments. Businesses with expertise in Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), regulatory frameworks, and the intricacies of international cooperation in transport-related projects would be well-positioned to compete in such tenders. Additionally, the project supports voluntary and community sector enterprises, providing a wider range of potential suppliers the chance to engage with Highways England's objectives.

## Notice

Highways England has participated in a number of European funded ITS projects over the past 12 years benefiting from knowledge share as well as gaining influence on European ITS developments and strategy that might impact Highways England's business and revenue. Highways England is seeking to contract with an experienced Consultant in this area who will support Highways England and its partners through its commitments and to additionally work through the implications of the UK's decision to leave the European Union.
