Midlands Connect Specialist Technical Framework - Supplier Engagement Event

Midlands Connect is seeking to establish a procurement framework for its technical work going forward. The framework will consist of a number of specialist lots targeting different aspects of our future technical programme. We also intend to have a lot for small, advisory commissions for key specialisms.

It is envisaged that the duration of the Framework will be 4 years and will be open for other Public Sector organisations to access. This is subject to change however and will be confirmed at the time of tender publication.

The Lot structure of the framework at this stage is outlined below, this will be finalised prior to publication of the Tender:

Lot 1 - General Transport Planning Services Lot 2 - Highway Modelling and Appraisal Lot 3 - Rail and Demand Modelling and Appraisal Lot 4 - Technology and Innovation Lot 5 - Wider Economic Appraisal and Research Lot 6 - Specialist Advisory Services
