Construction of a new bus depot in Kitts Green, East Birmingham. It is anticipated that the procurement process will be via a competitive tender process under a Government Commercial Agency Framework - RM6088 - Construction Works and Associated Services.

WM Trains Limited is procuring rail depot and servicing works through one advertised works procurement structured in two contractual stages. Stage 1: PCSA Under the Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA), the contractor will complete the GRIP 5 design, further develop the design, and price the individual works packages. Stage 2: ECC Once those package prices have been developed and consolidated into a single commercial position, the project will proceed to award the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC) on a lump-sum basis for GRIP stages 6 - 8. The procurement is intended to appoint a contractor for each Lot to provide Stage 1 PCSA services. Stage 2 may follow, subject to the contracting authority's decision, funding, approvals and procurement compliance requirements. The contracting authority does not commit by this notice to award Stage 2. Please note that it may not be necessary for the successful bidder for each Lot at Stage 1 to undertake all of the GRIP 5 design required for that particular Lot as some elements of the GRIP 5 design may already have been completed by tender award stage. If that is the case, it would be expected that the successful bidder would inherit any GRIP 5 design already completed for a particular Lot and then use that to inform the remainder of the GRIP 5 design required for that particular Lot. The procurement is divided into the following Lots: Lot 1 - Coventry Carriage Sidings Stabling and Servicing Facility Lot 2 - Northampton Riverside CET Lot 3 - Tyseley Road 12 Permanent Fuelling Apron Tenders may be submitted for one, more than one, or all Lots, subject to the instructions in the associated procurement documents available at https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/EHTJX59C3V.

The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) supports the provision of an extensive passenger transport network across the West Midlands, both in fulfilment of statutory duties and to enable access to facilities and services.

National Highways is working in collaboration with the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV), a joint unit between the Department for Transport and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, to strengthen electricity network capacity to some motorway service areas (MSA) in England. The intention is to create affordable electricity network capacity at these MSAs to enable greater provision of ultra-rapid electric vehicle (EV) charge points to support long journeys. Further details relating to this Strategic Charging Infrastructure Scheme was included in the consultation on the design of the scheme: via this link: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/electric-vehicles-strategic-charging-infrastructure-scheme/strategic-charging-infrastructure-scheme This scheme is in development, and the final shape and design of the scheme are subject to consideration of responses to this consultation. This pre-market activity is seeking to gather information specifically from National Electricity Registration Scheme (NERS) accredited suppliers who are able to deliver contestable works, i.e. the electricity extension assets at a subset of the 116 MSAs in England. Individual MSAs could require new connection capacity in the range of 5 to 50 MVA and depending on the available network capacity and the point of connection offered by the relevant DNO, the extension assets for each site may be at 132kV, 33kV, or 11kV. Further details as to the outline scope of requirements is provided within a separate document that can be accessed via this link: https://highways.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/NationalHighwaysProcurement-MaterialforExternalRelease/IgClbYur0Ep0TIpnnAQiEIF8AYI2CIR_wtENn0MSY2GcKZw?e=BlMU09 In addition, National Highways invites interested suppliers to provide responses to a series of questions that is available via this link: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=sp9QKa9_i0-3ojL5bsXebETYIVa8xtpCsF24ky8YkKpUOTZCQkpWQ0JVU0NKQlFSTjBEMDFWRUdYUS4u In advance, National Highways thanks you for taking the time to complete this questionnaire.

National Highways is a government owned company responsible for operating, maintaining and improving the strategic road network in England. We are seeking to appoint a single supplier to undertake research aimed at preventing long-latency occupational illnesses across the construction supply chain. The research will identify practical leading indicators of occupational health performance through a combination of supply chain surveys, a review of relevant academic and industry literature, and stakeholder engagement. The appointed supplier will analyse the findings and develop evidence-based recommendations for leading health performance indicators and control metrics that can be adopted to strengthen occupational health management and support the prevention of long-latency occupational illnesses within the construction sector. We are now conducting pre-market engagement to test if our expectations can be delivered by the market or if adaptation is required.

National Highways is a government owned company responsible for operating, maintaining and improving the strategic road network in England. We are looking to secure the provision of a single supplier to guide priority health controls by producing a national dust risk profile through engagement, surveys, literature review and analysis of high‑exposure highway tasks. Highways work involves many tasks that create dust including cutting, drilling, milling, scrabbling, hydrodemolition and demolishing of concrete and other stone products, mixing of cementitious products, handling of aggregates and potentially asbestos. Exposures to these dusts can cause lung diseases such as silicosis, COPD and cancers. The Supply Chain Safety Leadership Group (SCSLG - https://nationalhighways.co.uk/suppliers/health-safety-and-wellbeing/home-safe-and-well/supply-chain-leadership/) has identified dust exposure as one of the top four occupational health risks to address in its Significant Risk Thinking. We are now conducting pre-market engagement to test if our expectations can be delivered by the market or if adaptation is required.

National Highways (NH) is a government owned organisation responsible for operating,, maintaining and improving the Strategic Road Network (SRN) in England. NH is undertaking exploratory research into innovative approaches for pavement compliance testing on the SRN. This work aligns with the Home Safe & Well vision that no one should be harmed while travelling or working on the SRN. Pavement compliance testing is essential to ensure customer safety and the quality of highway renewal works. It is currently estimated that compliance testing activities account for approximately 98,500 work hours on the SRN each year. At present, much of this testing is carried out at night by operatives working adjacent to live traffic, exposing them to significant risks including vehicle incursions and people–plant interface hazards. There is an urgent need to explore and accelerate the adoption of automated compliance tests (ACT) that can remove operatives from high-risk live traffic environments. Early research indicates that such technologies have the potential not only to significantly improve workforce safety, but also to enhance pavement quality, deliver smoother roads, and improve the overall customer experience.
