The Regional Delivery Partnership (RDP) framework covered £8.7bn worth of work through to 2024, and was developed under the Routes to Market programme. As well as the sheer size of the work, this was no ordinary procurement. One of the key ambitions was to remove the need for single contract bidding, a process that can cost contractors around £2m for big schemes, thus taking investment out of the sector. Chief executive Jim O'Sullivan told Highways at the time: 'Routes to Market represents a fundamental change in the way we deliver road projects. It will be performance rather than price-based, focusing on building the right projects with the best outcomes for road users and the communities we serve.' The theoretical foundation for this revolution was laid by the publication of the original Project 13 report from the Institution of Civil Engineers in 2016. Project 13 aims to 'develop a new business model for infrastructure projects based on an enterprise system, not on traditional transactional arrangements'. |
