National Highways TVO

The National Highways’ (NH) methodology for major enhancements and renewals has moved away from the traditional lowest price purchase of materials on a scheme-by-scheme basis and towards an all-encompassing cost and value perspective on a programmatic level. The move was first seen in 2018, with the award of the Regional Delivery Partnership (RDP) framework, elevating 13 Tier-1 construction companies to 13 equal partners. This collective power has recently been harnessed to complete a cross-RDP combined category sourcing, obtaining game changing commercial results all the while improving network safety, customer satisfaction, economic growth and environmental sustainability.
