## Summary

Highways England has completed a procurement process for the project titled "CD 116 Geometric Design of Roundabouts," valued at £75,527.43, which pertains to the provision of research and consultancy services in the UK. The procurement method utilised was a selective process through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract commenced on 22 July 2021 and is set to conclude on 31 March 2022. This project aims to enhance highway safety by refining the geometric parameters related to roundabout approach arms based on previous research findings.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialised in research and development, particularly those involved in road safety and civil engineering services. Companies that focus on transport consultancy or have expertise in traffic management and geometric design are well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. As SMEs are encouraged to participate, this represents a viable path for smaller firms looking to expand their portfolio in the public procurement sector.

## Notice

Highways England (the Client) is seeking the provision of services to build on the previous research outcomes into roundabout approach arms undertaken in 2020/2021. The aims of this task are as follows: - To build on the outcomes from research undertaken in 2020/21 specific to roundabout approach arms. To gain an understanding of why most collisions at roundabouts on the APTR occur on the approaches. To check and challenge the existing geometric parameters in CD 116 for approach arms, and whether more robust requirements and advice can be established; and - To check and challenge if changes made as part of the DMRB 2020 style specific to signal-controlled roundabouts represents best operational practice.
