en.Wedoany.com Reported - Norfolk County Council (NCC) recently conducted a procurement for its highway professional services contract that was unsuccessful, preventing it from reaching the contract award stage. The council is currently reviewing the competition process and plans to initiate a new tender procedure in due course to replace the professional services contract currently provided by WSP. The existing contract will expire on or before March 31, 2028.

The provider of the new professional services contract will work closely with Kier, who has been mobilized by NCC as a term maintenance contractor since April 2026. NCC expects that the professional services contract will cover areas including highways, bridges and structures, mobility and transport, spatial planning, economic development and strategy, environment, waste management, and infrastructure related to council property and carbon assessment.

The relevant services will be delivered in collaboration with NCC's internal teams, specifically including highway design services, project delivery studies, stakeholder consultation studies, and professional support required for the development of highway maintenance, asset management, and capital improvement programs. Additionally, design services such as feasibility studies, preliminary design, and detailed design, as well as bridge and structure design and advisory services, will be provided.

The total estimated value of the contract is £77,000,000 (excluding VAT), with VAT included amounting to £92,400,000. The expected contract term is from June 1, 2027, to May 30, 2031, with a possible extension to May 30, 2031.
