## Summary

National Highways has successfully completed the procurement process for the project titled "T0678 DMRB - WCH - Combining CD 143 and CD 195 and updating online training resource," under the industry category of Development Consultancy Services (CPV: 73220000). Located primarily within the United Kingdom and extending to British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and beyond, this effort is part of National Highways' ongoing initiative to enhance design standards for walking, cycling, and horse-riding. The procurement followed a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement, moving from the tender stage that ended on 22nd May 2025 to the award stage published on 27th June 2025. This contract, valued at approximately £284,549.33, extends from 27th June 2025 until 31st March 2027, with Atkins Jacobs Joint Venture as the awarded supplier.

This contract offers substantial opportunities for business growth by allowing firms, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), to participate in enhancing infrastructure standards that cater to diverse sets of road users. Businesses specialising in development consultancy with a focus on transportation and urban planning would find this contract well-suited to their capabilities. The integration of separate design standards into a cohesive training resource promises not only the improvement of service delivery but also the enhancement of safety and accessibility measures, aligning with major objectives of National Highways' Accessibility Strategy and Safety Imperative.

## Notice

National Highways have committed to undertake 5-year cyclical reviews of the DMRB to ensure it is fit for purpose and complies with current drafting rules. This update has been identified as part of this cyclical review. As part of ongoing work to review the walking, cycling and horse-riding design standard it has been determined that there are opportunities to improve the clarity of existing requirements and advice for designers by combining two separate existing standards; CD 143 and CD 195. It is anticipated that this work will assist designers by reducing the number of standards required to be referenced and help better highlight the need for dedicated and targeted facilities. This project to update several standards supports National Highways in continuing to provide for all road users, including those who travel alongside and over our roads: - NH Safety KPI and KSI reductions - NH Safety Imperative - NH Delivery Imperative - DfT Road Safety Statement - NH Accessibility Strategy - NH Connecting the Country - Design Construction and Maintenance - NH Connecting the Country - Customer Mobility - NH Home Safe and Well - KSI reduction - NH National Casualty Reduction Plan - More effective deployment of SES resource to meet RIS2 delivery
