## Summary

The Delivery Integration Partnership (DIP) framework, awarded by Highways England, aims to support the UK Road Investment Strategy (RIS1 & RIS2) with a significant budget of £8.7 billion. The procurement process concluded on 19 November 2018, and the framework operates from 2018 to 2024, covering various regions across England. This selective tender, conducted under the restricted procedure, has designated eight lots with specific value thresholds for construction projects, ensuring that successful vendors are contracted according to the defined geographical areas.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses within the construction industry, particularly firms specialising in highway projects and infrastructure delivery. It encourages participation from both large enterprises and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as there is a target to subcontract 25% of the total work value to SMEs. Businesses with experience in project management, civil engineering, and collaboration with public sector entities will be particularly well-suited to compete for contracts within this framework, enabling significant business growth through ongoing project work and collaboration.
