## Summary

The procurement contract titled "Procurement Services (Severn Bridge Area 6)" was awarded by Highways England, with an emphasis on services within the research and development sector. This project is located in the North East of the United Kingdom and falls within the contract period from 12th June 2018 to 23rd July 2018. The total contract value amounts to £19,686.25, reflecting an active status following the award notice published on 14th June 2018. This procurement was part of an unprecedented programme involving the awarding of over £15 billion in complex contracts, necessitating extensive resource management and sophisticated procurement strategies.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those with expertise in complex procurement solutions and contract strategies such as competitive dialogue and negotiated procedures. Companies that specialise in providing procurement support services or who can offer strategic partnership capabilities would be particularly well-suited to compete, especially given the scale of the projects involved and the demand for additional resources to meet Highways England's ambitious goals. This is an ideal chance for businesses looking to expand in the public sector, given the extensive contractual requirements outlined in the initiative.

## Notice

Highways England's Procurement Division has a workforce plan of 166 FTE. However, in the next 18 months Highways England is delivering an unprecedented procurement programme, which requires resource above a sustainable WFP. This involves: 1. Awarding over PS15BN of complex contracts using a variety of sophisticated procurement solutions and contract strategies, including competitive dialogue, negotiated procedure, PFI and Alliancing. The PS15Bn is delivered across 5 multifaceted projects, and all are required to be delivered concurrently resulting in competing resource demands. 2. Awarding PS5BN of transactional procurement contracts (under existing frameworks & new OJEU) required for business as usual activities. As a result of the unprecedented delivery programme and resource constraints, Procurement is seeking procurement technical specialists through SPaTS to provide support services, as well as procuring a strategic partner to provide a combination of capability and capacity to minimise the risk to delivery of key business objectives.
