    Brief

    National Highways seeks specialist technical support services to deliver the Growth and Housing Accelerator Fund, a £165 million government programme aimed at removing funding barriers and infrastructure constraints that are delaying housing and employment development projects. The programme ensures the strategic road network remains safe and fit for purpose while unlocking stalled developments. Key responsibilities include: assessing and prioritising development schemes; building robust business cases for infrastructure improvements; managing project risks; and overseeing delivery of essential upgrades such as junction improvements and new road links. The support is critical to prevent traffic congestion, safety issues, and continued project delays, with delivery required through to 2031. Suppliers should have expertise in infrastructure project management, transport planning, cost-benefit analysis, and programme governance to help ensure projects are completed safely, on time, and within budget whilst supporting government housing targets.
