Tender description

Highways Asset Management System (HAMS) software solution that takes a strategic approach to optimising the allocation of resources for the management, operation, preservation and enhancement of the highway infrastructure to meet the needs of current and future users of the transport network. Lot 1: The Agreement will be let for an initial period of five years from July 2025, with a further five options to extend for 24 months each. The potential total contract length is therefore up to 15 years. The potential for a long-term contract recognises the significant cost of change and return-on-investment duration. The Agreement was let based on the UK Cabinet Office's Model Services Contract for high value, complex services. The Agreement was tailored to meet the needs of the Council's requirements and feedback from the industry.
