## Summary

Highways England has initiated a procurement process for the "Area 4 Asset Delivery Design Services Consultancy (Area 4 Interim) Contract", with a total value of £13 million. This procurement falls under the engineering design services category and is located in Guildford, South East England. Currently, this is at the Award stage, and the contract period is set to commence on November 2, 2020, and run until November 1, 2021. The tender period ended on April 6, 2020, and the procurement was conducted through a limited, negotiated procedure without prior publication due to its above-threshold status.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the engineering and consultancy sector, particularly those specialising in design services for infrastructure projects. Companies equipped to manage complex design requirements and possess expertise in asset delivery methodologies would be well-positioned to compete. Given the contract's short-term nature, businesses might also consider the potential for future contracts associated with the upcoming Scheme Delivery Framework that Highways England is developing, creating avenues for long-term engagement with the buyer.

## Notice

Highways England needs to accelerate implementation of its latest Asset Delivery (AD) model in Area 4 and will be terminating its existing contract for design services in that Area on 1st November 2020. That contract is let to a joint venture, with Jacobs (who are the contractor under this contract) providing the design services resource. The procurement of the replacement asset delivery solution for Area 4 (including design) which will be the Scheme Delivery Framework is currently in development by Highways England but this new contract will not be let until at least November 2021. This short-term contract let under regulation 32(2)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 bridges the gap of 12 months. As design work will continue to be done by the Jacobs resource in this interim period this will avoid a potential TUPE transfer of their staff to a new supplier, a process that could need to be repeated on the introduction of the Scheme Delivery Framework.
