## Summary

The procurement process involves Highways England awarding five contracts under the "Skid Resistance Contracts Finder Award Notice". This initiative falls under the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services industry, aimed at providing specialist technical support for annual skid resistance surveys across the UK's strategic road network. The contracts, amounting to £1,145,000, span a period of three years with an option to extend for an additional two years. The delivery areas include regions such as the South West, East Midlands, North West, and others, with key milestones including the award date of January 27, 2020, and the contract commencement on May 20, 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in surveying and engineering services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies with expertise in skid resistance measurement and road surveying techniques will be well-positioned to compete, especially those with capabilities to fulfil regional requirements outlined in the contract. Engaging in this procurement could enable businesses to establish long-term relationships with Highways England, contributing to enhanced visibility and growth within the public sector services market.

## Notice

Five contracts have been awarded for specialist technical support to provide regional routine annual skid resistance surveys. Sideways-force coefficient routine investigation machine surveys are Highways England's method of assessing and monitoring skid resistance in accordance with the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) standard HD28/CS228. The strategic road network is surveyed annually to assess skid resistance. The results identify any sites with abnormally low skid resistance which are subsequently investigated and prioritised for remedial work, if required. There are five lots split into four regions and one lot of Benchmark sites. The regional lots are outlined below: Lot 1 - South West, Area 3 and the Second Severn Crossing Lot 2 - Area 4, Area 6, Area 8 and the M25 DBFO Lot 3 - Area 7, Area 9 and the A1DD Lot 4 - Area 10, Area 12, Area 13 and Area 14. Lot 5 - Outlined in the Scope document. The boundaries for all lots are as defined in the procurement documents. The Contracts are for a period of three years with an option to extend for up to a further two years (5 years total).
