## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Highways England, titled "5-070 Technical support for Maintenance and Renewal Contracts," falls under the category of research and development services and related consultancy services. This tender is currently complete, with the contract period spanning from 3rd February 2020 to 31st July 2020. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and the tender period concluded on 21st January 2020. The procurement focused on delivering technical and commercial services to enhance contract development processes, with a total contract value of £199,969.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in technical consultancy and contract support services, particularly those experienced in the highways sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to compete, as this contract requires specialised knowledge transfer and process improvement capabilities. The involvement of a large supplier like Arup highlights the competitive nature of this field, making it an ideal opportunity for SMEs aiming to establish or expand their presence in public sector contracts.

## Notice

This task is to provide technical and commercial services input to inform the development of the AD suite of contracts including, but not exclusive to, the development of new contract documents as well as ongoing support for existing contracts in place including AD and ASCs. The task will also include work necessary to review, learn lessons and consider improvements to the AD model contracts to enable roll out in line with the renewals programme. The task also requires the Supplier to review and deliver improvements to the processes CD&A use to undertake contract development, leading to quicker and better quality contract development in the future. AD contract knowledge transfer is also required to the operational teams for each contract to enable Highways England to understand and implement the contracts effectively, in order to mitigate any risks to delivery. To achieve challenging timescales Highways England requires a high and consistent level of specialist technical and commercial advice and services, in the development and drafting of contract documentation. Highways England does not possess the resources internally. Transfer of knowledge to Highways England staff during, and on completion, of this Task Order will be a key requirement to enhance the in-house knowledge and experience for future contract development work. All project management expertise to be used will be supplied from existing internal resources. The risk is that if we do not have the appropriate level of support, training or correct technical requirements incorporated into our contract documentation there will be significant implications on the business and our Supply Chain.
