## Summary

The procurement process is initiated by Highways England, aiming to establish a framework for the Cost Planning Service Provider 2021. This service falls under the category of 'Project and design preparation, estimation of costs' within the public services sector and is based in England. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a total value of £4,900,000 for the provision of cost estimating services over a 30-month period. The future notice date for this tender is set for 2nd February 2021, with the intention to appoint three service providers.

This tender presents an exciting opportunity for businesses specialising in cost estimation and project design services, particularly those with experience in the transportation sector, to expand their portfolios. Firms that can provide detailed cost planning and estimation services will be well-positioned to compete, as the awarded contract seeks to enhance the in-house resources of Highways England and ensure effective governance of major transport projects.

## Notice

Highways England is replacing its current Cost Planning Service Provider framework, which provides cost estimating services for road projects. The Cost Planning function is responsible for delivering cost planning services which ensures that the business has detailed cost information to make properly informed business decisions and that governance is maintained. The cost plans prepared by the CP team are used to approve funding at various stages of the project lifecycle. All major programme budgets and funding approvals are informed by cost plans produced by the Cost Planning function. This procurement seeks to bolster the in-house Cost Planning resources.
