Description

Following a market engagement event in August 2023, National Highways will be seeking a new partner to deliver transformation and change services in our business for up to 5 years from late-2024 with an estimated value of £75 million. We intend to use the Restricted Procedure and Selection Questionnaires are expected to be issued in mid-December, subject to the completion of project governance. Our approach for dealing with conflicts of interests on this procurement will be set out in the procurement documents and will reflect public sector best practice. Part of this approach will be to require bidders to sign "Managing Conflicts Agreement" at the Selection Questionnaire stage. This Agreement shall require potential bidders to proactively identify and agree with the Authority any individuals within their organisation who are actually or potentially conflicted or considered to have had access to information which gives them an unfair advantage which cannot be mitigated or neutralised by any other reasonable measures. If any such individuals are identified the bidders shall be required to construct an information barrier or "ethical wall" internally to remove those individuals from their bid team and protect the integrity of the process. A draft copy of the "Managing Conflicts Agreement" has been provided for reference only and is available as an attachment to this notice on Contracts Finder. A final version of the Agreement will be published with the Selection Questionnaire.

Other Information

Suppliers may express interest by completing a Microsoft Form at https://forms.office.com/e/cg3arGGFeP. Registration of interest is not necessary and potential suppliers may choose to respond directly after the Contract Notice/Opportunity Notice is published. Potential tenderers who have not yet registered for an account on National Highways eSourcing Portal may do so at the following link https://nationalhighways.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/ Note that we ask suppliers to register one account per organisation. The supplier can designate a super user for the account who will then authorise sub-accounts for any other of their staff members who require access. If you have previously had a contract or bid for work with National Highways your company is likely to have an account already on the system. Please contact the eSourcing helpdesk via the link above if you are unable to access your account. n/a Managing Conflicts Agreement - 8 Nov 23 (Draft).pdf
