SC23172 - Professional Services Framework - Market Engagement Opportunity

Kent County Council’s Highways & Transportation team wish to secure the services of suppliers to undertake specialist levels of technical, environmental and engineering professional services. These services support the Council with engineering expertise to plan and design new highway infrastructure, including assessment of structural assets or specialist advice. The required core services fall within five key areas: Highways and Engineering Transportation Services Strategy Planning and Enforcement Surveys and Investigation Commercial Services The Council intends to put a Framework in place, to begin August 2024. The Council plans to conduct pre-procurement Market Engagement to inform its future procurement strategy. The Council will consider the feedback received to help inform the Council's options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process . Market Engagement responses will not be assessed, but will be used to gather information and gauge market interest in this opportunity.
