Description
The Council wishes to establish a contract for the provision of advice and support for the implementation of a street works permit scheme.
The Council runs a successful noticing scheme but now wants to implement a permit scheme in order to achieve better control of street works and to use all the statutory powers available to manage its road network as effectively as possible. It does not, however, have the capacity to undertake the necessary work to determine what is the right type of permit scheme for its area and to implement it successfully.
The Council is not intending to join a common permit scheme but is aiming to achieve consistency, as far as possible, with other authorities in the South West of England.
The outcome of this contract would be the provision of advice, undertaking work and support that would lead to the Council running a successful permit scheme that complies with the relevant legislation, DfT guidelines and is financially sustainable.
To identify the optimum permit scheme for the Council, the financial impact and operating model, producing the necessary documentation and analysis in accordance with regulations and DfT guidance, and assisting in consultation, testing and helping the Council in implementing the schemes.
The applicant is to provide advice and support on undertaking each of the tasks of implementing a permit scheme contained in the DfT's checklist.
It is anticipated that the work would be undertaken in two stages: establishing the permit scheme and then its implementation.
Stage 1. Establishing the permit schemes
Stage 2. Implementing the permit scheme
Required Delivery Date
Stage 1: 31st August 2019
Stage 2: 1st December 2019. This date will need to be kept under review due to the uncertainties associated with the introduction of the DfT's Street Manager project and how this will affect the IT street works systems used by the authorities.
