The Regional Delivery Partnership (RDP) is Highways England's new approach to modernising
our strategic road network in England. It will manage the £9bn road investment strategy
working with suppliers to effectively and efficiently support three Highways England
imperatives, Safety, Customer and Delivery.
RDP will enable Highways England to work more effectively with our supply chain to deliver the
record investment in our road network over the next six years. The collaborative and
partnership approach drives efficiencies and innovations thru a programmatic and regional
approach. This new relationship to build roads together releases financial savings and, thru
pipeline of work, creates the environment where the supply chain can make long-term
investments in their staff and technology....
In January 2018, we announced £9bn of contracts to deliver the road investment programme over the next six years. There are two types of services we are procuring: 18 regional Delivery Integration Partners (already in Procurement) and technical advisors whose procurement we will be launching shortly.
