Noise & environmental barriers - Request for Information ONLY

National Highways Strategic Procurement team are supporting the launch of the new Digital Product Catalogue for Noise and Environmental Barrier Products. As part of this process, we need your support to identify all the available products within the market for moderation and potential approval onto the Digital Product Catalogue (DPC).

As part of our Digital Roads strategy to harness data, technology and connectivity to improve the Strategic Road Network, the Digital Product Catalogue has been developed as an online, National Highways Hosted, single location for all National Highways Endorsed/Approved products to be housed.

It will be available free of charge to all product suppliers and allows organisations to upload both Product Datasheets and BIM objects for consumption across supply chain partners, from Design Development through construction and into operations and maintenance. It removes the need for multiple versions of the products and consolidates all the information into a format that aligns completely with the National Highways Asset Data Management Manual.

Furthermore, it drives standardisation across Major Projects including efficiencies in product selection, design development and delivery. The DPC is being launched as our new way of working and will be subject to our continual review and supplier submission of products for approval.

The scope of information that National Highways will need as part of the data input to the DPC include:

All information will be treated in strictest confidence, however if you wish to tell us about anything else which you consider to be privileged information (eg. a new product to market) please identify it as Confidential.

If your product is added to our DPC, it will become an approved product/system for potential selection on future National Highways schemes.

If you would like to submit your product data for review as part of the Digital Product Launch for noise and environmental barriers, please submit all requested data via email, to:

CatManEnablingworks@nationalhighways.co.uk no later than 28th November 2022.
