The engagement end date for this tender is set for 28th November 2022. This tender by Highways England presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly those involved in road furniture and barrier components, to showcase their products for potential inclusion on the Digital Product Catalogue. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete in this procurement stage aiming to enhance the Digital Roads strategy and strengthen product standardisation within the industry. ## Notice National Highways Strategic Procurement team are supporting the launch of the new Digital Product Catalogue for Noise and Environmental Barrier Products. As part of this process, we need your support to identify all the available products within the market for moderation and potential approval onto the Digital Product Catalogue (DPC). As part of our Digital Roads strategy to harness data, technology and connectivity to improve the Strategic Road Network, the Digital Product Catalogue has been developed as an online, National Highways Hosted, single location for all National Highways Endorsed/Approved products to be housed. It will be available free of charge to all product suppliers and allows organisations to upload both Product Datasheets and BIM objects for consumption across supply chain partners, from Design Development through construction and into operations and maintenance. It removes the need for multiple versions of the products and consolidates all the information into a format that aligns completely with the National Highways Asset Data Management Manual. Furthermore, it drives standardisation across Major Projects including efficiencies in product selection, design development and delivery. The DPC is being launched as our new way of working and will be subject to our continual review and supplier submission of products for approval. The scope of information that National Highways will need as part of the data input to the DPC include: - The Declaration of Performance (DoP) for each Product and/or system. This is vital to prove that the product has been sufficiently tested to meet the performance standards required - Manufacturer's installation instructions - Maintenance requirements for each product and/or system - Product Data Sheet for each product and/or system - Design Life Period for each product - Warranty Period for each Product - C02 Carbon Data for each Product/system - Details of Highways Schemes or Industry Sectors previously supplied to (if available) All information will be treated in strictest confidence, however if you wish to tell us about anything else which you consider to be privileged information (eg. a new product to market) please identify it as Confidential. If your product is added to our DPC, it will become an approved product/system for potential selection on future National Highways schemes. If you would like to submit your product data for review as part of the Digital Product Launch for noise and environmental barriers, please submit all requested data via email, to: CatManEnablingworks@nationalhighways.co.uk no later than 28th November 2022. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/305735fd-1c9b-47c3-ac1c-dd29dc0416d8 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Oct 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 28 Nov 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | 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 | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation ### Codes - 34928000 - Road furniture - 34928110 - Road barriers - 34928120 - Barrier components - 34928230 - Noise fence ## Release History - 28 Oct 2022 at 10:15 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/305735fd-1c9b-47c3-ac1c-dd29dc0416d8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/305735fd-1c9b-47c3-ac1c-dd29dc0416d8 28th October 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://nationalhighways.co.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
