Highways England needs to accelerate implementation of its latest Asset Delivery (AD) model in Area 4 and will be terminating its existing contract for design services in that Area on 1st November 2020. That contract is let to a joint venture, with Jacobs (who are the contractor under this contract) providing the design services resource. The procurement of the replacement asset delivery solution for Area 4 (including design) which will be the Scheme Delivery Framework is currently in development by Highways England but this new contract will not be let until at least November 2021. This short-term contract let under regulation 32(2)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 bridges the gap of 12 months. As design work will continue to be done by the Jacobs resource in this interim period this will avoid a potential TUPE transfer of their staff to a new supplier, a process that could need to be repeated on the introduction of the Scheme Delivery Framework.
