Description

National Highways is replacing its current framework for cost estimating support for road projects.

The Cost Estimating function is responsible for delivering cost estimates, which ensures that the business has detailed cost information to make properly informed business decisions and that governance is maintained. The cost estimates prepared by the CE team are used to approve funding at various stages of the project lifecycle. All major programme budgets and funding approvals are informed by cost estimates produced by the Cost Estimating function.

This procurement seeks to bolster the in-house Cost Estimating resources.

The new framework seeks to appoint 3 service providers to deliver cost estimates for projects in the UK Government's Road Investment Strategy over a 4 year period.
