Description

Hertfordshire County Council is currently out to procurement for the provision of a Highways and Environment Professional Services Contract

Hertfordshire County Council wishes to appoint a professional services provider to deliver professional services related to public highways. The Authority is looking to forge a long-term collaborative relationship with a service provider that delivers a Contract that actively supports the Authority's corporate objectives and enhances the county of Hertfordshire. The Authority wishes to facilitate the appointed service provider to identify and implement innovative solutions, establishing a new way of delivering the services to maximise the potential for success for both itself and the appointed service provider throughout the lifetime of the Contract. The professional services are currently delivered through the Authority's existing professional services contract (based on the NEC3 Professional Services Contract) which is due to expire on 30 September 2024.

This procurement is a Competitive Procedure with Negotiation. Organisations wishing to take part in this project are invited to 'express an interest' and also 'opt in' which will give access to the full procurement documents in the e-tendering system.

To be considered as a Tenderer you must complete and submit an Supplier Questionnaire (SQ) by the deadline of 12 noon on the 19th May 2023

Please allow sufficient time to make your return, as SQ submissions cannot be uploaded and submitted after this return deadline.

Please ensure that where possible documents are uploaded as a PDF and that file names are succinct.

Any questions relating to this procurement must be made via correspondence on the website, in accordance with the procurement documents, and can be addressed to the main contact as shown in the details above.

Tenderers should be aware that due to the nature of the Services provided, any Contract formed as a result of this procurement process shall be executed as a deed. Tenderers should seek independent legal advice on the implications of this prior to submitting their Tender, where appropriate.

The use of Lots has been considered for this procurement, but have not been used, because it is a term service contract for the provision of ongoing services. As such, the requirements of the contract do not suit a Lot base structure, with a single supplier approach being the optimal delivery route for these services.

Please note that the contract requirements will be subject to available financial resources, supplier performance and flexibility to meet changing demands.

Please Note the TUPE Employee Liability Information for this procurement has been provided along with other documentation for this procurement.
