Provision of Border Readiness and Compliance Ticketing Coordination Services for Highways England

About

Highways England awarded a contract to Serco Limited for the provision of a focused resource of three individuals to coordinate with Highways England to set up backup service provision, enabling service provision within 12 hours, including identifying appropriate resource and liaising with Highways England to keep up to date with deployment strategy, process, and requirements.

The contract, valued at AUD 44,000, addresses the risk of significant queues at the Port of Dover and Eurotunnel in the event of a 'no deal' scenario, where hauliers would require additional documentation to cross the EU border and businesses would have to apply customs and excise rules to goods moving between the UK and the EU.
