HCC - 03/23 - The Provision of Transport Implementation and Planning Services Framework (2023)

Description

Hertfordshire is entering a period of historic growth, with 100,000 more homes, 100,000 more jobs, and a 15% increase in traffic envisaged during the next 15 years. The Council and its partners have a responsibility to plan positively for this, addressing the challenges this creates by shaping this growth to 2031 and beyond. To this end, the Council has adopted a number of strategies outlining its response to these challenges, most notably the Local Transport Plan 4. Aiming to achieve a step change in travel behaviour by setting the framework for sustainable development and mode shift in Hertfordshire, its successful delivery requires a unified, collaborative approach both within the Council and with its partners. The Services detailed in the Specification, refined through market testing, aim to provide the Council and its partners with the breadth of expertise and experience required to ensure 'good growth' in Hertfordshire. Ranging from initial spatial planning work through to design and development of major infrastructure, as well as the modelling work, transport appraisals, and environmental assessments required in between, many of the outlined services will sit alongside in-house staff or existing providers. Nonetheless, as demand for these Services grows over the next 4 years, a diverse range of suppliers will be beneficial, bringing innovation and fresh perspectives to the growth agenda in Hertfordshire. The Services have been broken into the following Lots and it is the intention of the Council to award each Lot to a maximum number of suppliers per Lot as detailed below. Following the outcome of the Evaluation, should there be a joint third or fifth position the council will take into account the Price score in order to determine the top 3/5 successful Tenderers per Lot. The Framework Agreement has broken down in to the following Lots.
