## Summary

This procurement process, managed by National Highways Limited, focuses on investigating the role of road connectivity in housing delivery across the UK. The project titled "S30045 The Role of the SRN in Housing delivery" falls under the development consultancy services industry category. The procurement method was selective, with the contract awarded to AJJV. Although the tender phase concluded on 13th November 2025, the project was awarded on 16th December 2025 and will run until 31st March 2026. The comprehensive research project aims to provide insights into factors impeding housing delivery, particularly related to road connectivity and the Strategic Road Network (SRN), with implications spanning regions such as the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and Europe.

This contract offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in development consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in housing delivery and infrastructure analysis. Companies that can provide innovative solutions in road connectivity and housing development, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs), are well-suited to participate in similar tenders. With a focus on developing predictive models and frameworks to forecast road-related barriers, businesses can leverage their expertise to assist National Highways Limited in strategically mitigating challenges and fostering wider housing delivery, thereby opening avenues for growth in infrastructure project consultancy.

## Notice

The supplier is required to undertake a comprehensive research project to investigate the actual role of road connectivity in UK housing delivery. The service will provide an evidence base to answer the following key research questions and objectives: - To investigate whether road connectivity is holding housing delivery back and what other factors are impeding housing delivery. - To quantify the frequency and scale at which a lack of road connectivity on the Strategic Road Network (SRN) is the primary of limiting factor for housing projects not being delivered. - To systematically identify and rank the most significant non-road factors currently impeding housing delivery in the UK, eg planning system delays, land acquisition costs and availability, developer finances and market viability, labour and material shortages, and water and energy infrastructure constraints. - To characterise and investigate the specific circumstances or conditions under which the SRN becomes a critical limiting factor for housing delivery. This includes examining different types of developments (eg large-scale new towns vs. small-scale infill projects), geographical locations (eg urban vs. rural), and the nature of the road issue itself (eg traffic congestion, safety concerns, or a complete lack of access). - To analyse how road-related challenges interact with other identified barriers (eg planning system delays, utility infrastructure capacity, economic viability, land availability) to collectively impact the speed and scale of housing delivery. - To develop a predictive model or framework that can help NH predict the likelihood of the SRN being a limiting factor for future housing developments based on a set of identifiable conditions. - To identify the most effective interventions NH can implement or advocate for, both directly and indirectly, to mitigate road-related barriers and support broader housing delivery goals.
