Cost Estimating Framework

Location

Birmingham

Description

National Highways 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 4 service providers to deliver cost estimates for projects in the UK Government's Road Investment Strategy over a 4 year period.

Legal Justification

The framework agreement will be reprocured in advance of its expiry in 2028. It is therefore necessary that the current framework agreement be in place and available for use prior to this. This requires an uplifted value. It would not be possible for National Highways to reprocure this framework agreement early due to resourcing, projects ongoing, technical expertise available and value for money.
