Description

We are looking to work with a consultancy to provide insight into Highways England's preparations and early delivery during road period (RP2) in areas with longer-term implications into RP3 and beyond. In particular we are interested in how Highways England's approach might affect factors like longer-term efficiency improvements, and implications for how we should assess the company's plans for future road periods.
Scope
The overall scope of the project is divided into four workstreams. The scope for the first workstream is defined in more detail as we plan to finalise the detailed scope for the other three workstreams in collaboration with the successful consultancy.

The workstreams are:
1. How Highways England is managing congestion and delay
2. Future technology preparedness
3. Routes to Market review
4. Planning and early delivery of life extension renewals
