## Summary

The procurement process involves Highways England as the contracting authority for the project titled "T0238 M53 Clatterbridge Half Joint Calculation Review." This tender falls within the 'Research and development services and related consultancy services' category, located in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method is selective, executed as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract duration commenced on 22nd December 2021 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2022, with the tender period having ended on 2nd December 2021.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in engineering, consultancy, and infrastructure assessment, particularly those focusing on bridge and structural examination. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) could find this contract particularly accessible due to the suitability criteria that favour them. Companies with experience in similar assessment projects, specifically dealing with the Strategic Road Network, will be well-positioned to compete for such contracts, potentially contributing to their growth and expanding their operational portfolio in public procurement.

## Notice

National Highways (NH) has Hidden Critical Defects amongst its structures stock on the Strategic Road Network (SRN). Half Joint bridge construction is one such detail that is known to cause concern and is part of a national programme of Half Joint assessments aimed at understanding their condition and contribution to limiting capacity. Ideally, the assessment will confirm that the HJ bridge capacity in its as-built condition is adequate for the route capacity. Where necessary, consider condition factors associated with a bridge, several decades old. In Area10 on the M53, Clatterbridge Bridges, an interchange junction, have been assessed by NH's Design Services Contractor, Amey. The uncertified capacity is indicating a capacity less than expected based on results achieved on similar bridges with similar design on that route. That is affecting how the bridge is managed and monitored.
