## Summary

The procurement process is led by Highways England, aiming to establish a "RIS3 Technical Partner Contract" focused on providing consultancy services for the Road Investment Strategy (RIS). This contract, classified under research and development services, has a total value of £1,253,556 and is set to run from 29th July 2021 to 31st March 2025. The procurement method is selective, involving a call-off from an existing framework agreement. The contract delivery is based in London, and the award was made on the 29th July 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy and research services, particularly those with the capacity to adapt their offered services over a four-year period. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this contract well-suited to their capabilities, especially if they can demonstrate access to a broad range of skilled resources. Firms prepared to influence strategic decisions and provide evidence-based analysis will be particularly competitive in this procurement process.

## Notice

This contract is to provide a range of services required to develop of the analysis to support the Road Investment Strategy (RIS). If delivered successfully collaborating with existing internal resources, then we would expect analysis to underpin the both the economic and strategic case of the RIS. This would move the analysis to be more proactive where we influence the decisions being made rather than just providing the evidence that supports the decisions. The nature of the services we require will change over the 4 years of the contract. Therefore, the successful partner will need to have access to a wider pool of people to ensure we can access the right services at the right moment.
