Highways Agency database (RFP)

Tender description

PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS FOR TRANSPARENCY PURPOSES ONLY, ONLY CAPABLE SUPPLIERS UNDER THE DIGITAL SERVICES FRAMEWORK WILL BE INVITED TO BID. The Highways Agency requires an Environmental Assessment Scoping Tool (EAST) that will inform the extent of environmental assessment required when undertaking road development schemes and provide associated management reporting functionality. The tool will be used by both the Agency and its Delivery Partners to mechanise the production of first draft Environmental Assessment Scoping Reports (EASRs). The proposed solution will support the Highways Agency’s Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) Volume 11 by providing a questionnaire approach to aid determining the scope and level of environmental assessments required for road projects. The tool will be rules-based and be flexible enough to be easily configured by the Highways Agency (or supplier of its choosing) to reflect future changes in the DMRB.
