This process falls under the category of engineering works and construction works, focusing on the Strategic Road Network (SRN) across all regions of England. The procurement is still in the planning stage, with upcoming market engagement activities scheduled for November and December 2024 in Birmingham. A launch event will be held virtually on 13 November 2024, followed by three face-to-face workshops on 20 November, 27 November, and 04 December 2024. Interested suppliers must submit expressions of interest by 6 November 2024. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in civil and structural works, pavement, traffic management, and design services. Companies involved in technical, surveys, and testing contracts will find value in participating. The Scheme Delivery Framework 2 will replace the existing frameworks and invites both existing and new suppliers to engage in shaping the future procurement strategy. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and large construction firms are well-suited to compete in this tender, which aims to enhance the quality and efficiency of national road infrastructure projects. National Highways ensures inclusive participation by offering both virtual and face-to-face engagement opportunities to gather comprehensive feedback. ## Notice This opportunity relates to the replacement of the Scheme Delivery Framework (SDF), Pavement Delivery Framework (PDF) and could also include smaller contracts such as Technical, Surveys and Testing (TST) contracts. SDF and PDF are currently made up of different suppliers from specialist disciplines who work collaboratively to deliver network improvement and maintenance schemes in all regions of England. The TST contracts are individual contracts that currently contribute to the success of scheme information for both SDF and PDF. All of these frameworks and contracts enable National Highways to deliver renewals and small improvements across a range of activities, including substantial civil and structural works, pavement, barriers and drainage, traffic management activities and design services for a range of projects. Scheme Delivery Framework 2 (SDF2) will cover the Strategic Road Network (SRN), which is one of the biggest and most important pieces of infrastructure in the country. It comprises more than 4500 miles of motorways and major A roads which are at the core of our national transport system. National Highways is committed to delivering high-quality construction projects that meet the evolving needs of our stakeholders and customers. SDF has successfully facilitated numerous projects, and we are now preparing to develop the replacement to further improve the SRN. For further information, please see the SDF2 Information Memorandum provided here: https://highways.sharepoint.com/:b:/s/SDF2/ERCyhCKnJzFOojDTkZzGcxMBrIvbp_1aTceNqKOcTbOOng?e=pkJ5s9 ### Lot Information Lot TBC The current Scheme Delivery Framework (SDF) and Pavement Delivery Framework (PDF) are due to come to an end in September 2027 and December 2027 respectively. SDF2 is an exciting opportunity for existing and new suppliers who may be interested in bidding. This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is issued by National Highways, inviting suppliers to participate in market engagement activities to inform and shape the development of the overall strategy for the replacement of the SDF. There will be a number of market engagement activities, including, but not limited to: 1. A launch event to provide an overview of the forthcoming programme of works 2. A series of workshops to aid the development of SDF2 overall commercial and procurement strategy Following the release of this PIN, the launch event will be held on Microsoft Teams on 13 November 2024.

To submit an expression of interest to attend, suppliers must complete the following form by 17:00 on 6 November 2024: https://forms.office.com/e/pfuCeHVMXX When submitting an expression of interest form, suppliers will be asked to identify their preferences for which workshop sessions they wish to attend. National Highways will endeavor to take these preferences into account when allocating session attendance. However, we are unable to guarantee suppliers will be able to attend their first preference. Due to capacity restraints at the venues and to ensure a range of views can be shared at each session, suppliers who express an interest may be invited to attend any of the sessions stated above. National Highways will automatically offer a virtual follow-up meeting after each workshop to review topics discussed, gather further feedback to those unable to attend the face-to-face workshops.
