## Summary

The procurement process for the "S30070 Phase 3 Steady State Assessment" was initiated by National Highways Limited, located in Birmingham, England. This tender falls under the development consultancy services category and is targeted at delivering structural assessments in the East Region of the UK. The procurement used a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. As of 24th January 2026, the award stage is complete, with the contract commencing on 21st January 2026 and expected to conclude by 30th April 2026. The tender, valued at approximately £500,000, was awarded urgently due to its safety-critical nature and the need for technical continuity.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in structural consulting and assessment services, specifically those equipped to handle urgent and complex infrastructure projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are considered suitable candidates for such opportunities. Businesses that have experience with frameworks or possess niche expertise in structural assessment within transport infrastructure are well-suited to engage in similar tenders and leverage their knowledge to explore further collaborations with National Highways or other public authorities.

## Notice

This urgent direct award is required to continue Phase 3 (Structural Assessments) following on from SPaTS2 T0440 which was originally structured in three phases: Phase 1 - Inspection for Assessment (IFA), Phase 2 - Approval in Prinicple (AIP), and Phase 3 Structural Assessment. Phases 1 and 2 have been successfully completed; however, Phase 3 was cancelled due to lack of funding. Funds have now been secured, and immediate commencement is necessary to meet safety and compliance obligations within the East Region. The Consultant previously delivered Phases 1 and 2 under SPaTS2 task T0440 and holds all relevant data and methodologies, making them uniquely positioned to complete Phase 3 without duplication of effort or delay. The scope includes steady-state structural assessments on selected structures identified following RSRFs in the East Region, with deliverables such as final structural assessment reports, calculations, assessment and check certificates, AutoCAD drawings where required, updates to IAMIS (Load Management section), and uploading all relevant documents onto IAMIS. Due to the urgency, technical continuity, and safety-critical nature of the work, this award is justified as an urgent direct award to the existing Consultant.
