    Brief

    This opportunity involves providing critical project management and technical assistance for the renewal of safety systems at the A38 Saltash Tunnel. Services include design checking (CAT3 level), testing, and installation of new technology to replace aging safety-critical systems. The existing tunnel control and safety systems are approaching end-of-life and require modernization to ensure safe operations and improve system resilience and efficiency. National Highways requires specialized external expertise to deliver design validation, quality assurance, and installation oversight services. This work supports the tunnel renewal programme and addresses previously encountered challenges. The project forms part of National Highways' strategic infrastructure investment and will be managed through their Principal Contractor and subcontractor framework. Prospective suppliers should have experience with safety-critical tunnel systems, design certification processes, and transportation infrastructure technology deployment.
