The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough region is a major contributor to the UK economy and economic output is anticipated to double over the next 25 years. This rate of growth places high pressure on the housing and transport infrastructure of the region, leading to congestion and other negative impacts which act as a constraint on investment and continued economic development.
In order to address these pressures and maintain economic growth, significant and ambitious investments are being made in the region’s housing, transport systems and other infrastructure.

Section VI: Complementary information

VI.3) Additional information
This procurement is not divided into lots; the requirements of this framework mitigate against the use of multiple lots as it would require extensive co-ordination and interface management. The partner organisations do not have, or wish to employ, the additional resources that would be needed to manage and co-ordinate these interfaces. Therefore, the partner organisations have identified a model with 2 multiple disciplinary providers rather than split the work into ‘lots’.
Additional benefits of the chosen model are:
To support the development of a collaborative working relationship with the 2 providers.
To enable the suppliers to develop a deeper understanding of the complex transport related issues of the region and ensure that it is retained and deployed on future projects.
