    Brief

    This contract requires a technical assessment of the RIS3 (Roads Investment Strategy 3) renewals investment planning approach to identify lessons learned, risks, and best practices before developing the RIS4 strategy. The RIS3 Technical Partner contracts, previously awarded to Atkins Jacobs Joint Venture through the SPaTS2 framework, successfully increased renewals funding by 45% and improved investment case quality through evidence-based and risk-focused planning. However, essential evaluation work could not be completed during RIS3 due to resource constraints and unplanned updates to renewal cases. The successful approach must now be assessed and matured for the next roads period. This assessment will involve desktop analysis, stakeholder interviews, and review of current industry best practice to identify areas for focus and improvement. Work will be managed through existing mechanisms and should help bridge the planning maturity journey from RIS3 to RIS4, ensuring alignment with stakeholders including HM Treasury, Department for Transport, and the Office of Rail and Road.
