On the launch of this Procurement, the Council is seeking suitably qualified applicants (the "Applicants") capable of integrating with the Council's wider highways team, delivering high-quality professional services in the Norfolk geographic area, and structuring its approach to the delivery of the Contract in a manner which is pragmatic, innovative, and cost-effective. The launch of the Procurement follows a period of sustained preliminary market engagement during which the Council engaged with prospective bidders regarding: (i) the approach to the Procurement (including the timeline, dialogue sessions, and possible award criteria); and (ii) the proposed approach to the Contract and scope of services under it. The Council has designed a lean, dialogue-focused approach to the Procurement that leverages the full flexibility afforded to it by the Act. The Procurement is designed to ensure that the principles of delivering value for money, maximising public benefit, sharing information with Applicants, acting with integrity, and facilitating SME participation are built into every stage of the process. Further detail regarding the stages and requirements are contained within the Procurement documents which can be accessed through the In-Tend platform. Please note that all materials prepared and shared with the market during the preliminary market engagement phase are available on the In-Tend platform via the clarifications facility. A full breakdown of the scope of services forming part of the Contract is contained within the Procurement documents, including a draft scope made available with those documents. By way of illustration, the Council anticipates that the services required under the Contract, which will be carried out collaboratively with the Council's in-house teams, will include: • Highway design services, project delivery (including early contractor involvement and developing works orders), stakeholder engagement and consultation, and specialist expertise required for the development of highway maintenance, asset management, and capital improvement schemes • Major highway infrastructure and other design services (feasibility, preliminary and detailed including planning and other statutory approvals), through integrated design teams as well as wider resource provision (including necessary specialist resources) •Bridges and structures design and advisory services, including asset management, inspection and maint... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/highways-and-infrastructure-professional-services-contract-ocds-h6vhtk-06b191) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 71241000, 71311000, 71313000, 71320000, 71354500, 71356400 - **Delivery regions:** UKH - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £86,300,000 - **Contract Period:** 27/07/2027 to 30/11/2032 - **Renewal published:** yes ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F092090-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-09-29T17:42:07.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-20T04:41:15.783Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-06b191
