A design fund of £15,000 will be available for award at discretion of the Judging Panel. It is currently envisaged that £7,000 will be awarded to the submission judged to be the best overall response to the challenges outlined in the Competition Brief, with £5,000 and £3,000 to be awarded to the submissions attracting the second and third highest overall scores respectively. On conclusion of the Design Contest and provided there is a set of design proposals which meet the aspirations set out in the Competition Brief, it is National Highways' intention to appoint the Winner via a Service Contract to join a project team that will be led by one of National Highways' existing framework suppliers/providers.
