What is being bought

Published requirement description

The objective of the project is to scrutinise the processes in place and quality of evidence that National Highways uses to assure itself that it is compliant with the conditions of its licence. To do this, ORR would like the winning bidder to sample conditions from the licence to extrapolate a position regarding the robustness of the evidence identified by the company to demonstrate compliance.
