1-1066 Support for LTC Transition Process

Tender description

The LTC project is currently supported by a long running contract referred to as the Technical Partner. This wide-ranging contract was originally set up for the development phase of the project. The activity under the Technical Partner contract is now being refocused on activities to support the main works procurement and DCO process. Highways England (HE) is aiming to procure a limited volume of specialist technical services to support HE in the transition of the LTC project from the Development phase into the Delivery Phase, where a Delivery partner as well as the Technical Partner will support HE. The Delivery Partner contract is currently in the procurement phase. The work required under this work package will not be carried out by the Technical partner to avoid conflicts. This work package is for limited time period until the Delivery Partner for LTC is mobilised sufficiently to take over activities (expected late Q3/Q4 2020/21). In addition to supporting the transition some other services are included to support HE staff where the use of Technical Partner staff would create a conflict.
