Overview
NLB requires external engineering support to provide technical expertise not available in-house. This includes inspections, feasibility studies, design work, and specialist advice across a wide range of infrastructure projects and maintenance tasks.
Services will support the Asset Management and Project Delivery teams by supplementing internal resources in areas such as structural and civil engineering, inspections, load assessments, and technical documentation including specifications and bills of quantities. It is anticipated that the single supplier framework will run for four years (+ 2 optional extension years) and offer flexible, call-off support to help NLB respond to emerging needs and maintain its infrastructure effectively.
Internal teams lack certain technical skills needed for complex assessments, inspections, and design.
