There will be 1 tenderer appointed to this framework, but they are not guaranteed any work or specific schemes from this tender process. Schemes allocated to this framework will be issued through a direct award to the successful tenderer for this framework.

The TA will undertake the following:

During PCF Stage 1 and 2

Identify options that address the objectives stated in the client scheme requirements

Develop options that comply with legislation and policy, through HE's preferred project delivery methodology (Project Control Framework (PCF), to take to public consultation

Preferred options should be deliverable, affordable and provide value for money when whole life of asset is taken into account

Undertake and record an appraisal of the performance of scheme options against key metrics with high technical assurance

Identify maintenance activities and designated fund opportunities that could be delivered during the project

Consider customer impacts arising during the enhancement and operation of the improved asset

Deliver effective stakeholder engagement and public consultation to enable a preferred route announcement

Complete the schemes high level requirements

Facilitate, oversee and optimise the transition from options phase to development phases

Realise and improve productivity and continually improve the value for money for the TA services

Fully engage with the Regional Sustainable Improvement Hub(s), the National Community of TAs and Centre(s) of Excellence.

During PCF Stages 3 to 7.

Assure against the High level requirements allocated to the Delivery Integration Partner (DIP) and be custodians of the preferred route intent.

Oversee and optimise the transition between PCF stage 2 and 3

Assure the basis of the marginal gain calculations when the DIP maintains or improves the investment baseline (measured via marginal cost benefit analysis);

Support the employer in agreement of the budget;

Continually improve the value for money of the TA Services;

Fully engage with the Regional Centre(s) of Excellence and the National Community of TA's;

Through high quality, right first time, service delivery, support the DIP's delivery of efficiency and predictability;

Assure the DIP's delivery of successful outcomes for PCF Stages 3 to 7; and

Assure and support transition of schemes from the DIP into Operations Directorate (OD) through to completion of SGAR 7.

During PCF Stages 6 and 7

Undertake the role of Supervisor to the DIP (please note the DIP is an NEC 4 based contract); and

Provide assurance for other design services that are to be completed.

Highways England will not allow the TA for a scheme to also be the DIP (framework) Principal Designer for any given scheme.
