## Summary

Devon County Council is conducting a Supplier Engagement Exercise for Transport & Engineering Professional Services, aimed at gathering insights from potential suppliers in the engineering and construction sector. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the engagement period set to conclude on 5th December 2018. Interested parties must submit their questionnaires by 12:00 on 8th October 2018. The planned expenditure for this initiative is approximately £20 million, with services provided across the South West region of the United Kingdom, specifically related to consultative engineering services and environmental planning.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses focusing on consultative engineering, highways consultancy, and environmental engineering services. With an average annual spend of around £4.5 million with the current supplier, firms that can offer specialised engineering design and project management capabilities will be well-placed to compete. Providers in related ancillary services that support infrastructure projects may also find this an advantageous opportunity to establish contracts with Devon County Council as they look to expand their operations in the public sector.

## Notice

This is not a call for competition. Devon County Council (DCC) currently have an internal Engineering Design Group (EDG) who are responsible for the design, project management, procurement, supervision and contract management for a range of infrastructure schemes across Devon. Since 2001, EDG has had a Transport & Engineering Consultancy Services contract allowing EDG to manage the fluctuating workload resulting from a varying capital programme and to provide specialist services unavailable in-house. The current contract expires in March 2020. In recent years, the average annual spend with the incumbent supplier has been around PS4.5million. DCC is inviting all interested parties to complete and return the supplier engagement questionnaire to mike.sullivan@devon.gov.uk and simon.richardson@devon.gov.uk by 12:00 on 8th October 2018.
