HCC - 01/23 - Pre-Procurement Market Engagement (PPME) for the Provision of Transport Infrastructure and Planning Services

Tender description

The Council’s current Transport Infrastructure, and Planning Services framework is an NEC4-based framework comprising 9 lots, these being split between multiple and single supplier lots. It is due to expire on 31st March 2024, having started on 1st April 2020. To that end, the Council is looking to procure a new Transport, Infrastructure, and Planning Services framework. In doing so, we hope to build relationships with a range of suppliers of different specialisms, sizes, and areas of expertise. Working closely with these suppliers, we hope to explore innovative, forward-thinking, and progressive approaches to delivering sustainable growth and better places for Hertfordshire.Although this notice states 'No' to splitting this into Lots, it is the Councils aim to split this opportunity into 9 Lots as described in the TIPS PPME Document Jan 2023,Please log in to https://in-tendhost.co.uk/supplyhertfordshire/aspx/Home to review the TIPS PPME Document Jan 2023 for full details Lot 1: Hertfordshire County Council (the "Council") is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement ("PPME") for the provision of Transport Infrastructure and Planning ServicesThe Council is seeking input from the market as to what might be the most attractive way of packaging and scoping any future opportunity for contracts.
