HCC - 06/22 - Pre-Procurement Market Engagement (PPME) relating to the procurement of Highways Maintenance Services and Professional Services

Hertfordshire County Council (the Council) plans to commence two separate but related procurements in early 2023 to appoint service providers to deliver a (i) highways services term maintenance contract and (ii) professional services term contract. This notice is intended to announce the commencement of a pre-market engagement exercise relating to the Council’s appointment of the two service providers, more fully described in sections II.2.4 and VI.3. The Council wishes to facilitate the appointed service providers to identify and implement innovative solutions, establishing a new way of delivering the services to maximise the potential for success for both itself and the appointed service providers throughout the lifetime of the contracts. At present, the highways maintenance services and professional services are delivered through the Council’s existing highways services term maintenance contract and professional services term contract which are both due to expire in September 2024
