Refurbishment, replacement and modification of existing assets; There are works required on existing assets under the current ownership of both National Highways and Wiltshire Council. Continued engagement and consultation will be required with both parties throughout the design and construction phases for these elements including: - Existing A303 de-trunking works - Demolition works and site clearance works - Modification works to existing structures 3. Maintenance and operation during construction Maintenance and operation of the existing A303 within the site boundary will be required for the duration of the construction works. The appointed Contractor will be required to liaise with National Highways, its maintenance contractors and Wiltshire Council to coordinate activities. 4. Post construction maintenance period There is an extended maintenance period (minimum of 5 years, maximum of 7 years) after construction to 'prove' the tunnel performs as intended.

National Highways have awarded a contract for a Delivery Assurance Partner, who will use their expertise, understanding and analysis of the data generated during construction, to deliver proactive risk management and drive efficiencies throughout the delivery phase. They will challenge contractors processes and programme to achieve time and cost savings. A key capability will be the ability to drive a right first-time approach in all construction areas but in particular in the design, installation, commissioning and handover of tunnel systems. National Highways has sought a partner with the capability and skills that extend beyond that of providing design and construction quality assurance support and project management.

National Highways currently utilises the Airwave radio service to provision critical communications between Traffic Officers, Service Providers (SPs), and the emergency services. However, the Airwave service is due to be decommissioned by the Home Office and replaced with the Emergency Services Network (ESN), to which all emergency services will transition. In order to maintain its access to critical communications and interoperability with the emergency services, National Highways must therefore also transition to ESN. In preparation, National Highways has decided to undertake a procurement exercise for a new locker infrastructure.The 750+ Airwave radios, currently used by National Highways Service Providers are, when not in use, hosted and secured in an existing Traka Locker infrastructure comprising circa 100 lockers. These lockers, which are located at SP service depots across England are not capable of hosting the ESN handsets and an alternative locker infrastructure will therefore need to be provided. Contract is a 5 year contract but there is an option to extend for a further 4 years in 2 year increments (5+2+2). The value of the award is for the initial 5 year period.

This project is solely to research and identify the necessary criteria for establishing a viable compulsory consolidation centre.

Highways England is looking to deploy a number of diffusion tubes at locations close to the Strategic Road Network (SRN) as part of their work to support delivery of the Government's National Air Quality Plan. We are looking to work with one or more of the SPATS 2 framework suppliers to deploy a small number nitrogen dioxide (NO2) diffusion tubes in triplicate at each location. It is envisaged that the monitoring is undertaken for initially 3 years with the possibility depending on monitored annual mean NO2 concentrations to extend the duration of the monitoring.

National Highways is responsible for the maintenance and operation of 1475 bridges constructed with a steel primary deck element. A large percentage of these structures were designed before the publication of the design code for fatigue BS 5400 part 10 and therefore may contain components with a fatigue life less than the design life of the structure. The objective of the client is to produce a standard which takes a risk based approach to the management of fatigue in steel bridges. This will have the aim of proactively managing bridges at risk of developing fatigue, rather that reactive.

National Highways is looking to appoint a Consultant to undertake development of an Approval In Principle (AIP) for 12 bridges in the East Region.
