## Summary

Highways England is facilitating a public procurement process for the "Regional Delivery Partnership Technical Advise" framework, focusing on design consultancy services as part of the UK Road Investment Strategy (RIS) 2 schemes. The procurement method is open, allowing for competition among suppliers for a total contract value of £260 million, with the contracting period commencing on 29 June 2020 and concluding on 28 June 2026. The procurement process has reached the Award stage, confirming the selection of five suppliers across six lots, which cover various geographical areas in the UK, including South West, Midlands, South East, North East, and Yorkshire and the Humber. The tender was published on 29 July 2019, with a tender period that ended on 20 September 2019.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in design consultancy and project management services, particularly those capable of handling large-scale projects adhering to Highways England's project delivery methodology. With allocation across multiple lots, businesses of various sizes, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs), can find relevant opportunities to compete. Given the extensive nature of the contract, firms with strengths in collaborative project delivery and a thorough understanding of infrastructure projects would be well-suited to submit proposals and benefit from the anticipated project pipeline over the coming years.

To support delivery of the UK Road Investment Strategy (RIS) 2 schemes (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/road-investment-strategy-post-2020) through Highways England's preferred project delivery methodology Project Control Framework (PCF). TAs will recommend to Highways England the best route option and then protect its technical interests throughout development and delivery phases of a scheme.

The framework will be divided into 6 lots, with each lot having a specific value threshold for schemes and covering a defined geographical area: - lots 1 to 3 (Band A) are for schemes with a client budget of less than or equal to PS100m and cover South West and Midlands (Lot 1), South East and East (Lot 2) and North East and North West (Lot 3) - lots 4 to 6 (Band B) are for schemes with a client budget of greater than PS100m and cover South West and Midlands (Lot 4), South East and East (Lot 5) and North East and North West (Lot 6). Lot 2 South East & East will not be awarded due to all eligible suppliers being awarded another lot. Highways England will not allow a TA for a scheme to also be the DIP (framework) Principal Designer for any given scheme. A Market Share rule will be applied to the value of work any one TA can undertake during the framework. This value is PS78m which represents 30% of the overall framework value.
