## Summary

The procurement process, led by the Office of Rail and Road (ORR), involves a review titled "Review of Highways England's ability to improve efficiency from its asset management capability." This initiative relates to the delivery of the second Road Investment Strategy (RIS2) for Highways England, which manages England's strategic road network. The contract, valued at £120,000, falls under the category of business and management consultancy services and was awarded on 13th June 2017, with the contract period commencing on 14th June 2017 and concluding on 29th September 2017. The procurement method used for this contract was an open procedure, with the tender period having ended on 16th May 2017.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for consultancy firms specialising in business process assessments, particularly those with expertise in asset management and efficiency improvements within public sector organisations. Businesses that focus on portfolio and programme management, asset management, and procurement processes would be well-positioned to compete, as they can contribute substantial insights to Highways England's strategic objectives during its Road Period 2. Engaging with this process could aid in expanding their portfolio in the public sector, particularly in infrastructural efficiencies.

## Notice

This review is being jointly commissioned, overseen and funded by Highways England and ORR. Highways England is responsible for operating, maintaining and improving England's strategic road network, comprising 4,400 miles of motorways and main A roads. Work is currently underway within government on the second Road Investment Strategy ('RIS2'). RIS2 will set out the performance requirements and funding for Highways England during Road Period 2 ('RP2'), the five year period from April 2020 to March 2025. The development of RIS2 requires the coordinated efforts of the DfT, Highways England and ORR with each organisation having responsibility for leading relevant work streams. Highways England is responsible for developing a strategic business plan (SBP) detailing its plans for delivering the performance requirements set out in the Government's draft Road Investment Strategy. ORR is responsible for leading the RIS2 efficiency review, an assessment of the level of efficiency that Highways England proposes to achieve in the SBP. A core part of the work to develop Highways England SBP and ORR's RIS2 efficiency review is the assessment of Highways England's ability to make efficiencies from improvements to its core business processes during Road Period 2. Highways England and ORR have agreed to jointly assess three business processes: (1) portfolio and programme management, (2) asset management and (3) procurement and contract management. This invitation to tender is to support one of these capability reviews - an assessment of Highways England's ability to make efficiency improvements through improvements to asset management capability ie how it manages its maintenance, renewal and operational activity on the strategic road network.
