## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Highways England, pertains to the tender titled "1-1014 Finalising CAZ Signing Strategy and Preliminary Sign Designs," which is classified under research and development services. The contract, valued at £43,027, is aimed at finalising a signing strategy for Clean Air Zones across several cities including Leeds, Bradford, Sheffield, Newcastle, Bristol, and Greater Manchester. The tender period ended on December 24, 2019, and is currently at the award stage, with contract activities commencing on January 10, 2020, and expected to conclude by April 13, 2020.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in research and development and related consultancy services, particularly those capable of delivering strategic signage solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find a competitive edge in this procurement, as the contract is suitable for such businesses, allowing them to contribute to significant urban development projects aimed at environmental sustainability. Companies with expertise in traffic management, urban planning, or environmental consultancy would be well-placed to submit bids for this contract.

## Notice

Highways England has developed a draft signing strategy to sign Local Authorities' charging Clean Air Zones (CAZ) from the Strategic Road Network (SRN). Highways England is also supporting cities by applying the strategy to complete preliminary designs for signs on the SRN for the first cities (including Leeds, Bradford, Sheffield, Newcastle, Bristol and Greater Manchester) as they develop their CAZ implementation plans. Lesson learned from developing the preliminary designs for signs on the SRN to support the Greater Manchester CAZ mean there is now a need to modify the signing strategy to enable publication. In addition, the extensive size of the Greater Manchester CAZ, covering the entire combined authority's area, and the sheer number of signs to be preliminary designed, several of which are on gantries that have required capacity assessments, means that the preliminary designs still need to be finalised.
