    Brief

    This opportunity involves updating and maintaining the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) standards GM 701 (Asset Maintenance Requirements) and GS 801 (Asset Inspection Requirements). These are safety-critical standards that ensure the strategic road network operates safely and reliably by managing asset condition, performance, and risks effectively. The work requires developing a risk-based inspection approach through GS 801, updating GM 701 to reflect current specifications and maintenance needs, and ensuring interventions match asset risk levels. Suppliers will provide continuous improvement of both standards, independent review of maintenance and inspection plans, expert technical guidance for practical application, and knowledge transfer to the future network owner. This ensures consistent practices across all regions, maintains safety-critical processes, and prevents deterioration of network safety and reliability. Qualified suppliers should have expertise in asset management standards, road infrastructure maintenance, inspection methodologies, and risk management frameworks.
