The contracting process, managed by Highways England, falls under the "Research and development services and related consultancy services" category. The procurement method used was selective call-off from a framework agreement, with a contract value of £125,256.82. The tender period ended on 19th August 2022, and the contract period spans from 13th September 2022 to 31st January 2023. This opportunity presents a chance for businesses operating in research and development or consultancy services related to health and safety governance in the transport sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited for this tender, which focuses on assessing and improving health and safety governance processes for the Strategic Road Network. Interested businesses should align their offerings with the Department for Transport's need for expertise in comparing governance processes across sectors like rail and aviation. ## Notice The Department for Transport (DfT) is undertaking a review of the governance processes and regulatory framework for implementing changes to the design and operation of the Strategic Road Network (SRN). This work is in response to the Transport Select Committee's Third Report of Session 2021-22, published following its inquiry into the rollout and safety of smart motorways. The aims of the review are split into the following two stages. For the avoidance of doubt, this work order is for Stage 1 of the review process only. 1. Stage 1 - Assess whether the current health and safety governance processes and regulatory framework for implementing changes to the design and operation of the SRN are sufficiently robust (for both the present and with future consideration), or if improvements should be made. Any upcoming changes to governance/regulatory processes should also be captured in this assessment. The assessment will be informed by a comparison with the governance processes and regulatory framework within comparable sectors such as rail and aviation. 2. Stage 2 - Evaluate different approaches through which the improvements to health and safety governance identified in Stage 1 of the review process could be made. This will include: - assessing the case (costs, benefits, barriers, and risks) for expanding the role of the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) to undertake formal health and safety assessments. - identifying and assessing the case for other approaches to achieve desired outcomes. The analysis should consider future changes in the design and operation of the SRN (for example the digital roads agenda) to help future proof the assessment of health and safety governance processes. DfT officials will discuss this requirement with the Supplier at project inception to confirm the scope and approach taken in the analysis. Progression to Stage 2 of the project will be subject to the outcomes of Stage 1. DfT will review the Stage 1 findings and decide whether to progress to Stage 2. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/50306eba-c232-49ec-b1b0-b985306c9479 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Sep 2022 | | Submission deadline | 19 Aug 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 11 Sep 2022 | | Contract period | 12 Sep 2022 - 31 Jan 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £125,256 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £125,256 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HIGHWAYS ENGLAND | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B1 1RN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Ladywood | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | AJJV | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 12 Sep 2022 at 15:08 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/50306eba-c232-49ec-b1b0-b985306c9479 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/50306eba-c232-49ec-b1b0-b985306c9479 12th September 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/56de274a-3b80-43f4-b83a-5a9804900b26 n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
