## Summary

National Highways has completed the award stage of the procurement process for a contract entitled "T0561 MCHW validation task - FUTRAN," within the industry category of research and development services and related consultancy services. The contract's main objectives include validating the usability of WSR templates, ensuring the project specification is fit for purpose, and obtaining feedback for future training and communications relevant to the MCHW launch. Located in London, UK, the contract, valued at £37,070.47, will run from 17 July 2024 to 31 October 2024. The procurement method used was a selective call-off from a framework agreement.

This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in research, development, and consultancy services. Given the project’s scope, businesses experienced in template validation, process recording, and collaborative feedback mechanisms would be well-suited for such contracts. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) could particularly benefit from this opportunity, although the current supplier, FUTRAN, is classified as a large-scale entity. Collaboration with other suppliers involved in similar validation tasks may also lead to additional business opportunities.
