## Summary

Highways England has completed a procurement process titled "5-064 Research into Trend to Enterprise", aiming to enhance collaborative capabilities aimed at transitioning to fully integrated Regional Enterprises over the next 5-10 years. The contract, valued at £50,000, was awarded on 26 September 2019 to Arup following a selective procurement method under a framework agreement. The contract period is set from 26 September 2019 to 25 February 2020, and the research is classified under the CPV category for research and development services and related consultancy services. The contract will serve locations across the United Kingdom and relevant regions.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in collaborative frameworks and enterprise transitions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly suited to compete, given the focus on innovative approaches to enhancing project delivery efficiencies. Companies that can demonstrate a strong track record in empirical research within similar contexts could greatly benefit from this type of procurement, ultimately helping them to establish a foothold in the public sector.

## Notice

Highways England is looking to set up a contract for the provision of services. This is required as Highways England are embarking on a journey of moving from simple collaboration with its delivery partners to fully integrated Regional Enterprises within the next 5-10 years. There is a need for significant empirical research to assess the development of collaborative capabilities that support the transition to Regional Enterprises. The aim will be to ensure Highways England's investors and key stakeholders have full confidence in the use of specific measures and metrics to guide Regional Delivery Partner communities towards integrated Regional Enterprises. Significant investment in such a programme of research is expected to inform decisions that yield major returns in project delivery efficiencies.
