## Notice

National Highways is seeking to procure a replacement for our existing Pavement and Structures Decision Support Tools (DST) that can provide deterioration modelling capability for both pavements and structures. At present there are two separate tools provided by two different suppliers for each of these assets. However, there are suppliers in the marketplace who have tools that can analyse both asset classes and it might be advantageous to have a single tool that will produce modelled investment scenarios for both asset types provided by a single supplier. The tender process is likely to request pricing for each decision support tool separately and for the provision of a joint tool. To brief potential suppliers on our requirements and the process, National Highways is holding a Supplier Event. The Supplier Event will be a Teams meeting planned for Thursday 15 September starting at 11.00 and lasting about 1 1/2 hours. To register your interest in attending this meeting please email David Forde at David.Forde@nationalhighways.co.uk It is planned to issue the competitive tender in October 2022.
