Description

The Transformation Delivery Partnership Contract will provide a centralised vehicle for transformation and change in National Highways that will drive forward a central approach across the whole of National Highways to ensure holistic departmental transformation. The Transformation Delivery Partnership will challenge, advise, and support National Highways as it develops, implements, embeds and realises the benefits of the transformation programme, whilst leaving a sustainable legacy of change and improved capability throughout the company.

The key objective of the transformation programme is the tangible improvement in National Highways' performance in relation to Six Themes:

1: Integrated and flexible capital delivery

2: Supply chain aligned to new delivery model and NH ambitions

3: Mature asset lifecycle ownership

4: Digitally enabled organisation that delivers on business requirements and customer expectations

5: Proactive control of our network

6: Environmental sustainability deeply embedded in what we do

The transformation programme will be centrally led with the following design principles:

-Led by National Highways employees from across the company, with the Transformation Delivery Partnership supporting the activity

-Overseen by one Transformation Management Office (TMO) coordinating and maintaining the single source of the truth through a single way of working across all themes with a clear governance structure.

-Focussed on truly cross-cutting initiatives that impact across multiple directorates and functional areas of our business

-Building capabilities and ensuring change is fully embedded and sustained becoming business as usual

-A focus on long-term transformation and measurable outcomes rather than short-term cost savings

This transformation programme is a self-financing model, with a focus on delivering efficiency targets in both capital and operational expenditure within the RIS3 settlement. The investment made will be recovered from the value of efficiencies made through delivering the transformation programme within the 5-year period.

Work under the contract will be issued as tasks with defined deliverables and performance measures. Allocation of future tasks will be predicated on continued good performance. Further details are available in the procurement documents.

Candidates will be asked three scored questions within the Selection Questionnaire. The five candidates with the highest combined score (that are not otherwise rejected) will be invited to tender. Where multiple candidates share the same fifth place score, we reserve the right to invite more than the maximum 5 candidates to tender.
