We are here to ensure they manage the network to deliver performance, including efficiency, safety and sustainability, for the benefit of road users and the public. Our role involves assessing Highways England against the performance specification and investment plan set out in the first Road Investment Strategy (RIS1). The investment plan includes five ring-fenced funds (also known as designated funds), worth PS675m over Road Period 1 (April 2015 to March 2020). These funds, which are used to address a range of issues over and above the traditional focus of road investment, are split into the following areas: * Air quality (PS75m). This fund was established to develop a range of projects that will result in a reduction in air pollution and ensuring cleaner air on and around the network. * Cycling, safety and integration (PS175m). This fund designed to improve safety, increase provision for cyclists on or near the strategic road network, and enhance access for a variety of users, including pedestrians, horse riders and the disabled. This will involve interventions and enhancements to new and existing schemes. * Environment (PS225m). This fund is expected to deliver improved environmental performance across carbon, noise, water, biodiversity, landscape and cultural heritage. This includes additional environmental benefits for new schemes as well as measures to retrofit the existing network to tackle current problems. * Innovation (PS120m). This fund was created to allow the company to place a greater emphasis on the future technologies that will positively impacts users and the network. * Growth and housing (PS80m). This fund was established to ensure that the company is able to respond to future development opportunities and is used to match-fund infrastructure to enable new developments. These funds were announced in 2015 as part of the RIS (https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/408514/ris-for-2015-16-road-period-web-version.pdf), and are also set out in Highways England's Delivery Plan (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/highways-england-delivery-plan-2015-2020). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3fab2bc6-8b2b-417a-9a85-371fed1ce09e | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Nov 2017 | | Submission deadline | 12 Oct 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 21 Oct 2017 | | Contract period | 22 Oct 2017 - 9 Feb 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £60,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £56,260 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | OFFICE OF RAIL AND ROAD | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | WC2B 4AN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CAMBRIDGE ECONOMIC POLICY ASSOCIATES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79410000 - Business and management consultancy services ## Release History - 9 Nov 2017 at 16:02 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3fab2bc6-8b2b-417a-9a85-371fed1ce09e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3fab2bc6-8b2b-417a-9a85-371fed1ce09e 9th November 2017 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/28f14b05-6349-4463-97fb-9de4f6584999 ITT - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2c482b5d-ff08-475d-8833-918b1d55e5e7 Form of Agreement - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/bf09f2fb-2aeb-4b47-8be9-0250b6e71046 Disclaimer - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a5bc5527-471b-4fe8-8ca2-d8a1440632bc Form of Tender - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/SupplierAttachment/d77e9886-4213-4bd6-9ce6-a84e12360262 Signed Contract ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/highways-england-delivery-plan-2015-2020 - https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/408514/ris-for-2015-16-road-period-web-version.pdf ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
