## Summary

The National Highways organisation has awarded a contract for the project titled "T0531 QUADRO - Updating Roadwork Delay Methodology" in the development consultancy services category. The procurement process was conducted through a selective method with a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract has a total value of £76,886 GBP and has a contract period starting on 29th February 2024 and ending on 31st May 2024. The tender period ended on 19th January 2024. The contract was awarded to WSP UK Limited, and the buying organisation is National Highways based in Birmingham, England.

This contract presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in development consultancy services to engage in updating roadwork delay methodologies with National Highways. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete for this tender opportunity. The project involves assessing and updating road maintenance schemes, incorporating new technologies and safety standards to enhance roadworker safety and customer satisfaction. Businesses interested in technological advancements in roadwork management and safety standards would find this tender suitable for their growth and expertise.

## Notice

QUADRO, as a tool, was created prior to 1982 and allowed first 24-hour maintenance jobs to be assessed and then, as time passed, more complex maintenance schemes over 30 and later 60-year periods. The theory that underpins QUADRO continued to develop over the 1990s but has seen no fundamental updates since around that time, except for the addition of a limited carbon impact appraisal in the 2010s. The parameters that feature in the mathematical theories have, in some cases, been updated, particularly where these relate to the economic appraisal aspect, but many of the rest have been kept constant. This is in spite of technology advances in areas such as in-car sat navs and the use of map apps on mobile phones with live roadwork and disruption data. Roadworker safety standards have also changed, which will affect the accident rates within traffic management. National Highways' safety imperatives also feature a focus on roadworker safety and customer safety separately, which the theories' output does not support at present, as no differentiation is included.
