Midlands Highways Alliance Plus (MHA+): Professional Services Partnership 4 (PSP4)

The PSP 4 Framework scope includes all services required for the execution of the design

and supervision of highway, civil and municipal engineering works.

The PSP 4 Framework Agreement is based upon the NEC 4 Framework Contract (June

2017), and is split into two lots, one for Consultancy Services and one for Temporary

Professional Staff & Secondments.

The Scope of the PSP 4 Framework is broad and intended to cover all aspects of MHA+

Members’ highways related requirements. This may be in relation to wider highway service

delivery as well as delivery of the capital works programme. The work may be packaged as

projects that cover complete scheme delivery or specific tasks or specialisms to enable

authorities to deliver a range of services, including major highway improvements, highway

maintenance and road safety projects, town centre regeneration schemes and transport

studies.

Typical services may involve, but not exclusively relate to: highway improvements, highway

maintenance, highway infrastructure works (including bridges, subways, culverts and

retaining walls), public realm works (town centre enhancements), drainage improvements,

canal works and other infrastructure works such as waste management facilities.

A more comprehensive list of services included within the framework scope is included at

Annex A of the Framework Information.

For the purposes of this tender process, Leicestershire County Council is acting as the Client

and the Contracting Authority on behalf of the Midlands Highway Alliance Plus (MHA+).

Once the Framework Agreement is awarded, any organisation who is a member of the MHA+

(this includes any organisation that may become a member during the Framework Term), will

be able to place an Order under it with a Framework Supplier. Each Order will create a

separate, stand-alone contract between the MHA+ Member who placed it and the Supplier.

Leicestershire County Council will have no liability except in relation to Orders which it

places itself.

Any member of the MHA+ will be eligible to place orders under this framework, A full, up to date list of MHA+ members can be found on the MHA+ website https://www.mhaplus.org.uk/about-us/membership/

The estimated total value of the framework (all Lots) is a range between £120,000,000 -

£950,000,000. The higher range of this value banding reflects forecasts based on all

extension options being taken and factoring in projected growth and estimated inflation.
