The procurement is currently in the Award stage, with the tender awarded to ARUP for a total value of £99,830.39. The contract period spans from 23rd April 2020 to 25th January 2021. This initiative is designed to streamline procurement processes in light of upcoming demands, addressing four construction and five design service events anticipated over the next two years. This tender represents significant opportunities for construction and consultancy firms, especially those with expertise in asset delivery frameworks. Businesses capable of providing specialist technical advice and resources are particularly well-suited to compete for future contract events under this new framework, which is expected to be utilised nationally starting in November 2021. Companies should prepare for increased workloads and consider partnerships to enhance their capability to meet the projected demand for these intensive tendering events. ## Notice Highways England is looking to set up an Scheme Delivery Framework (SDF) for provision of construction and design works nationally for Asset Delivery (AD). External specialist technical advice is required to support the development of the construction works contracts and design services contracts. Currently renewal works are procured via area-based Construction Works Framework (CWF) and Design Services Contract (DSC) within the AD Areas and via the Service Provider for ASC areas. The current lookahead programme has shown 4 CWF and 5 DSC separate procurement events are required in the next 2 years. In order to deliver this sharp peak workload, an increase in internal resources is required. Under the current projected plan, suppliers will need to tender for 24 events over the next 5 years. These resource intensive tendering events will likely lead to suppliers not tendering for some contracts and/or increasing the rates. It its proposed a new framework, SDF, will be developed to replace the existing CWF and DSC contracting arrangements in all existing and future AD areas. This will be available for use nationally from November 2021 (go live date). The SDF is currently in the early stages of its governance process and contract development has commenced (January 2020). This now requires urgent specific technical input to ensure the correct requirements are in place and to allow for Asset Delivery contracts to be mobilised on time. Separate but similar tasks are already underway to deliver the Maintenance and Response contract for Areas 4, 12 and 3. It is intended for this scope to cover the requirement for delivery of the construction and design services contracts ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/eb538ea5-8b82-4bf1-ace7-d6cb1edd0100 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Apr 2020 | | Submission deadline | 9 Apr 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 22 Apr 2020 | | Contract period | 22 Apr 2020 - 25 Jan 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £99,830 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £99,830 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | 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 | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ARUP | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 30 Apr 2020 at 14:58 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/eb538ea5-8b82-4bf1-ace7-d6cb1edd0100 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/eb538ea5-8b82-4bf1-ace7-d6cb1edd0100 30th April 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ea442527-6c9f-4757-9170-66aa3d6f56dd n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
