## Summary

The West Sussex County Council is planning to initiate a tender for the "WSCC Highways Client Support Services Framework Agreement," focusing on highways consultancy services. This procurement falls under the services category and aims to replace existing contracts expiring in 2022. The tendering process will consist of two phases, with the anticipated publication of the Multi-Provider Client Support NEC4 Professional Services Framework Agreement expected in the week commencing 16th August 2021 for a duration of six weeks. A virtual bidder briefing is scheduled for 29th July 2021, with RSVPs required by 27th July.

Companies capable of providing comprehensive highways consultancy services would be well-suited to compete, especially those with experience in working with public authorities. The estimated value of this contract is £1,000,000, attracting interest from a range of providers who can successfully contribute to the framework's requirements. Engaging in this procurement can enhance visibility and foster collaboration with local authorities and stakeholders.
