## Summary

National Highways Limited has completed the procurement process titled "S30083 Skid surveys and MSP Support 2026+", which falls under the industry category of development consultancy services. The procurement initiative was conducted using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The total contract value amounts to £610,000, with the project aimed at surveying and maintaining road skid resistance data to inform maintenance strategies and update relevant tools like the Machine Survey Pre-processor (MSP). The project, awarded to Ove Arup, will be executed from 13 May 2026 to 31 March 2032, and involves multiple locations including the UK and broader regions such as Europe and the British Overseas Territories.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in consultancy services related to infrastructure and pavement conditions. Companies with expertise in data processing and pavement analysis, particularly SMEs, would find this contract beneficial for business growth. The focus on enhancing skid resistance standards and tools aligns well with innovative firms capable of delivering quality data interpretation services and maintenance solutions. The collaboration with National Highways and the substantial budget further underscores the potential for impactful engagement over the six-year contract period.

## Notice

National Highways commissions skid resistance and other routine surveys to provide data on pavement condition. These data are used to inform maintenance decisions and to report on the condition of the network through KPI 3.1 (Pavement Condition). This project will facilitate the use and interpretation of skid resistance data and improvements to relevant standards. This includes assessing trends in skid resistance and producing the correction factors (LECFs) to reduce the influence of seasonal variation on skid resistance data. The production of LECFs is described in CS 228. The project will also maintain and update the Machine Survey Pre-processor (MSP) tool that is used by our supply chain to process data from surface and structural condition surveys into a format that is suitable to be loaded into P-AMS, where it is made available to users.
