## Summary

The procurement process titled "T0697 Structures Moonshot Phase 3a" was conducted by National Highways, a leading authority based in Birmingham, England. This tender, centred on Development Consultancy Services, falls under the category of utilising emerging technologies for infrastructure management, specifically focusing on structural asset management through automation and AI-enhanced techniques. The project, which has now reached the Award stage, has an allocated budget of £450,000 and was pursued through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The relevant contract period spans from 9th July 2025 to 31st March 2026, and the services extend across various regions, including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, and mainland Europe. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract having been awarded shortly after the closing of the tender period on 23rd June 2025.

This contract offers substantial opportunities for businesses focusing on infrastructure technologies and those specialising in AI and remote monitoring solutions, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as they are considered suitable. The joint venture of Atkins Jacobs presents a prime example of a large-scale enterprise suited to such initiatives, leveraging their vast expertise in engineering consultancy. Successful bidders are likely to gain exposure to cutting-edge technological integration in asset management across varied geographic domains, which can catalyse further business expansion and allow businesses to establish themselves as leaders in innovative infrastructure solutions.

## Notice

National Highways is aiming to make a step change in the use of technology for managing its structures assets. The underlying ambition of this initiative (known as 'Structures Moonshot') is to reduce human intervention on site, facilitate automated inspections/remote monitoring and facilitate decision making supported by artificial intelligence and machine learning. Initially, the focus for this work was post-tensioned concrete structures, which were recognised as requiring a greater level of scrutiny than most other structure types. As the project has developed the scope has been broadened to include other structures, particularly those categorised as 'Priority Risk' structures within the business, including structures with half-joints and structures with deck hinges. The objective is to facilitate the use of emerging technologies (used remotely where possible) to provide reliable condition data enabling better informed decisions and appropriate interventions at the optimum time.
