## Summary

Highways England, based in Birmingham, has successfully completed the procurement process for the project titled "SVD M3 J2-4a - Project Technical Support". This initiative, part of the research and development services sector, involved the installation of a stopped vehicle detection system on the M3 motorway corridor, to enhance safety and efficiency. The competitive tender was conducted using a selective procurement method and concluded on 17 April 2019, with a contract awarded to Atkins valued at approximately £247,559. The actual contract period commenced on 25 April 2019 and extends to 31 October 2020.

This contract presents an excellent opportunity for growth, particularly for specialised consultancy firms and organisations experienced in traffic management and road safety technologies. Businesses engaged in research and development services, especially those with innovative solutions in vehicle detection and related advisory services, would be well-positioned to compete in similar future procurements. Given that Highways England has a commitment to working with larger frameworks, potential suppliers can benefit by showcasing value-added capabilities to enhance project outcomes.

## Notice

Following successful trials of stopped vehicle detection (SVD) on two sections of the M25 (on the southern sector, J5-6; and on the northern sector, J23-27) Highways England now requires a similar system to be installed on the M3 J2-4a. The project will be designed and delivered by the Area Service Contractor (ASC) for Area 3. Alongside this, Highways England is seeking a Consultant to provide specialist, SVD related technical services to the project and this is the brief for that activity.
