This procurement falls under the highways consultancy services category and is situated in England. Currently in the Tender stage, this opportunity is designed to enhance the flow of information regarding the strategic road network. The tender closes on 7th November 2018 at 12pm, with a contract period beginning on 18th November 2018 and concluding on 11th March 2019. The procurement method is open, with a total estimated value of £80,000. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in road management and information systems. Companies that can provide innovative solutions to enhance communication and information dissemination related to traffic and road conditions would be particularly well-suited to compete. The project aims to improve road user satisfaction and efficiency, making it an attractive opportunity for both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their influence within the public sector. ## Notice We monitor Highways England and its management of the strategic road network - the motorways and main 'A' roads in England. We are here to ensure they manage the network to deliver performance, including efficiency, safety and sustainability, for the benefit of road users and the public. Highways England's licence requires it to 'proactively and reactively provide relevant, accurate and timely information about traffic and conditions on the network to road users, including when there is disruption'. This piece of work will review what information is available to road users to assist route planning before setting out on a journey, as well as informing decisions en-route. In particular, it will assess what information is provided by Highways England, what is available from other sources, and identify potential areas for improvement. The 2015-2020 road investment strategy does not include any performance indicators directly relating to information provision. However, ensuring road users are well-informed has the potential to contribute to improved performance in areas such as delay and satisfaction. This work will consider how better information can benefit road users in the next road period, and beyond. Additional information: All communication must be made via Bravo (joining instructions attached). This tender closes on 07/11/2018 at 12pm. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/482b0b9f-2913-4941-a3bf-870359b3f315 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Oct 2018 | | Submission deadline | 7 Nov 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 18 Nov 2018 - 11 Mar 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £80,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | OFFICE OF RAIL AND ROAD | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | WC2B 4AN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 71311210 - Highways consultancy services - 79410000 - Business and management consultancy services ## Release History - 24 Oct 2018 at 14:18 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/482b0b9f-2913-4941-a3bf-870359b3f315 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/482b0b9f-2913-4941-a3bf-870359b3f315 24th October 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d3ce5f82-de37-4ad0-beed-abc265a35ee4 ITT - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d0c0c90a-52b0-49c0-a110-cef8369dcd9b Form of Tender - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9eabf489-044e-47bd-bc75-644cf45d42b0 Form of Agreement - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0dc3722a-698f-4f34-bffc-96cc77aa20b3 Disclaimer - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f51f5274-e225-449e-bc63-f40a3fd4cba4 Bravo Joining instructions ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
