## Summary

The National Highways has awarded a contract for the project titled "T0321 Structures Moonshot (Post-tensioned Structures - Phase 2)" in the research and development services category. The procurement method used was selective, with a value of £1,258,335.79 (GBP). The contract period is from December 13, 2022, to March 31, 2025, with the tender period ending on October 13, 2022. The project is located in London, United Kingdom.

This tender by National Highways presents an opportunity for businesses in the research and development services sector, particularly those experienced in emerging technologies and post-tensioned concrete structures. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate in this opportunity, which involves reducing human intervention through technology and automation in managing structures assets, fostering innovation and growth in the industry.

## Notice

National Highways is aiming to make a step change in the use of technology for managing its structures assets. The underlying ambition of this initiative (known as 'Structures Moonshot') is to reduce human intervention on site, facilitate automated inspections/remote monitoring and decision making supported by artificial intelligence and machine learning. Initially, the focus for this work will be post-tensioned concrete structures, which are recognised as requiring a greater level of scrutiny than most other structure types. The initial objective in relation to post-tensioned concrete structures is to facilitate the use of emerging technologies (used remotely where possible) to provide reliable data on the condition of post-tensioned tendons enabling informed decisions and appropriate interventions at the optimum time.
