## Summary

The National Highways authority has awarded a contract for the project management consultancy services titled "M0053 NEC PM A63 Castle Street". The procurement stage was selective, with a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on June 22, 2023, and the contract period is from June 26, 2023, to February 29, 2024.

This tender provides an opportunity for medium to large consultancy firms specializing in project management to compete. The role requires addressing technical challenges and contractual issues related to the A63 Castle Street project. Suppliers with expertise in project management consultancy services, particularly those experienced in hybrid working arrangements and contractual change management, would be well-suited for this tender. The tender process seeks to engage suppliers who can support contractual discussions, improve response times, and facilitate defect acceptance for the project.

## Notice

The services of an NEC project manager are being commissioned to support the A63 Castle Street which is currently in construction. The site office is based in Hull but the project team supports hybrid working. The scheme is technically challenging and has suffered some delays due to a range of issues which has resulted in significant contractual change. Processing these changes has taken significant additional resource. Administration of CEMAR needs to improve with the response periods in the contract for both National Highways and Balfour Beatty (the principal contractor) across many of the contractual notifications being met. An NEC project manager is being procured to provide immediate support to further contractual discussions, improve response times on resolution of issues such as early warnings and compensation events. They will also support on discussion of defects acceptance. The NEC project manager will also be required to role model the behaviour expected of National Highways to help support difficult conversations between the parties.
