Independent Assurance Review of DHS to ALR Safety Assessment for National Highways

About

Highways England awarded a contract to Atkins Jacobs Joint Venture for an independent review of the DHS to ALR Safety Assessment.

The supplier was engaged to provide independent assurance of the hazard assessment process undertaken by the SMP Alliance, giving the National Highways Executive and Board confidence that every engineering solution was assessed and that the SMP Alliance proposal is likely to achieve the expected outcome.

Where this was not the case, the contract required specific recommendations that could be taken forward within the time constraints of the schemes, with clarity on how they link to hazards and the evidence base on safety benefit.

The contract value was £39,351.
