    Brief

    National Highways is seeking support to implement Phase 2 of a programme aimed at standardizing maintenance and inspection practices across England's Strategic Road Network (motorways and major A-roads). Currently, regional teams use inconsistent approaches to routine maintenance and inspections, creating safety risks, legal compliance issues, and financial inefficiencies. This programme will establish nationally consistent processes and decision-making frameworks for asset management, improving road safety and reliability while meeting regulatory requirements from the Office of Rail and Road. Suppliers should understand this is an operational transformation initiative requiring expertise in process standardization, asset management systems, quality assurance, and change management across multiple regional operations.
