## Summary

The public procurement process involves National Highways as the buying organisation, seeking to complete a technical assessment for their DBFO Contract in the development consultancy services industry. The procurement title is "T0624 DBFO Contract Completion Technical Assessment." The procurement uses a selective method involving a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £12,798,508.12, will be effective from 1 December 2024 until 31 March 2028. The procurement pertains to locations including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, United Kingdom, and the Rest of the World. The formal award was made on 19 November 2024, and the process is currently at the 'Award' stage.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in development consultancy services to engage with National Highways, a major government entity. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) interested in providing technical and specialist services can benefit from this opportunity to establish long-term relationships, enhance their portfolios with high-profile projects, and potentially secure future contracts. The procurement's selective and framework-based approach ensures that only qualified and competent firms are considered, thereby promoting robust business growth and stability. Businesses with a track record in maintaining consistency and managing risks efficiently during transitional phases will be well-suited to compete for this tender.

## Notice

National Highways requires assurance that the Handback Requirements set out in each of the eight Tranche 1 and 1A Design Build Finance and Operate (DBFO) Contracts will be satisfied. The assurance process commenced in October 2016. The Consultant will continue to provide this assurance by supplying the technical and specialist services set out below. National Highways has employed a nationally consistent approach to the completion of the DBFO Contracts. As the DBFO Contracts are nearing expiry any deviation from this approach presents significant risk to National Highways and the DBFO Cos. It is therefore vital that this consistency is maintained in the transition from the Consultant support Task SPaTS2-T0349 to this Task. The DBFO Contract timescales are fixed and it is imperative that the transition between Tasks does not expose National Highways to any additional risks or result in any drop in momentum at this critical juncture in the contract completion programme. The Consultant must demonstrate how they will guarantee continuity, maintain momentum and minimise risks to National Highways during the transition period.
