The tender is currently in the active stage and will close for submissions on 23rd February 2017, with the contract period commencing on 3rd March 2017 and lasting until 3rd March 2019. Highways England operates throughout the United Kingdom, maintaining and improving major roads and motorways. The procurement method being utilised is an open procedure. This tender presents significant opportunities for recruitment agencies, particularly those with expertise in sourcing technical specialists for roles within the information technology field. Agencies that have experience in navigating the complexities of public sector contracts and can demonstrate their ability to provide qualified candidates in a timely manner would be well-suited to compete. The ongoing transformation within Highways England indicates a need for agility and adaptability in recruitment, making this an attractive opportunity for businesses seeking to expand their services in the public procurement market. ## Notice Highways England is charged with operating, maintaining and improving England's motorways and major A roads - the Strategic Road Network. We do this both directly and through commissioning - using an extensive supply chain/supplier "ecosystem". Between 2015 and 2020, we will deliver PS15 billion of investment across more than 100 major road schemes. Our employee base is distributed around the country. It includes a uniformed Traffic Officer Service who serve in seven regional control centres and a National Traffic Operations Centre, and who patrol key areas of the network from out-stations around the Strategic Road Network. We also have professional and administrative staff based in seven offices around the country. Highways England was formed as a government-owned company in April 2015, regulated by the Office of Road and Rail (ORR). It was previously an agency (non-departmental public body) of the Department for Transport, and called the Highways Agency. It is now known as an arm's length body of the Department for Transport. The organisation was established as a company to provide it with greater flexibility to run the roads responsibly, successfully and in the public interest, with a longer-term investment horizon and capital funding certainty. This was a significant change, and has resulted/continues to result in transformational change including restructuring and role changes in both front-line and support functions. As a new company there is a significant amount of change being implemented within the organisation structures in order to create a business that is set up to deliver the ambitious future agenda and vision. To realise that vision we have an increased requirement for new skills and a need to expand our existing organisation structures to lead the increasing and changing workload. Typically the roles we would seek support with are technical specialists offering a breadth of experience in their specialism and / or based in a particular geographical location where the type of resource required is known to be limited In addition, due to changes within organisation structures additional other roles may become vacant or new ones be created. This specification sets out details about the search and selection services sought to enable suitable candidates to be appointed to the roles. This specification sets out requirements for recruitment agencies to provide candidate search services for specialist roles in the Information Technology sector. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2139fccd-d23e-4495-b35e-ff04f0be4a15 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Feb 2017 | | Submission deadline | 23 Feb 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 3 Mar 2017 - 3 Mar 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | HIGHWAYS ENGLAND | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B1 1RN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Ladywood | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 79600000 - Recruitment services ## Release History - 13 Feb 2017 at 10:06 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2139fccd-d23e-4495-b35e-ff04f0be4a15 - 13 Feb 2017 at 09:49 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2139fccd-d23e-4495-b35e-ff04f0be4a15 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2139fccd-d23e-4495-b35e-ff04f0be4a15 13th February 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/158670dc-9acc-4bd3-b6da-1ea2189948e4 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1f54a491-3c85-423d-b985-6b6834f2a7fa n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a332d2cd-b117-4742-ae67-3c0ef09c1925 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/498dc6f9-392b-402a-9bbf-ee2285081a70 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/53137719-7189-4b98-93cd-4da8d1087b2b n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b44e82a4-4fc1-4186-9a6a-de8b7aed98e9 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/17bccf47-b2e2-449d-a7a9-2c4c2e92b84e n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f36e3ea9-f0bf-4005-b493-5de0f3461297 n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
