## Summary

The procurement process involves Highways England seeking technical consultancy services for the M48 Severn Bridge Main Cable Assessment. The contract, valued at £84,849, was awarded on 5th February 2019, following a selective procurement method under a framework agreement. The tender period closed on 31st January 2019, with the delivery of services expected to commence immediately and continue until 28th February 2021. This opportunity falls within the research and development services and related consultancy services category, specifically focusing on assessing traffic loading and monitoring related data.

This tender presents significant opportunities for consulting firms specialising in civil engineering and infrastructure assessments, particularly those with expertise in bridge monitoring and evaluation. Businesses that can provide analytical services, data evaluation, and reporting capabilities would be well-suited to compete, especially those equipped to manage unforeseen circumstances such as excessive wire breaks. The ongoing nature of the contract until early 2021 may also offer potential for future collaboration or follow-on contracts in related areas.

## Notice

The objectives are to review the traffic loading (WIM) data, Acoustic Monitoring and Dehumidification data for each three monthly period and produce quarterly reports. Carry out a yearly review of all the data and produce a report for that period. When required on a call off basis carry out a BSALL assessment due to unforeseen events i.e. excessive wire breaks (outside criteria laid down in the Monitoring Specification), abnormal traffic loadings, caused by queuing on the structure etc. Review all the documentation and produce an Assessment Certificate.
