Status
The Sector Schemes are included in the procurement process by incorporation in the Specification for Highway Works (SHW), they are called up in Clause 104 and are referenced in many other clauses. Appendix A of SHW lists the schemes.
Unless otherwise indicated in the contract documents they are a mandatory requirement. Any supplier providing the relevant services for the Highways Agency must be registered for the appropriate Scheme(s). SHW, does not permit sub-contractors to provide services under the umbrella of another registered supplier.
The Schemes are applied to all the Highways Agency types of procurement using SHW, i.e. including ECI, DBFO and Term Maintenance.
Other Overseeing Organisations and Highway Authorities using the SHW may also chose to use the Schemes. Reference will need to be made to individual contracts or authorities. Some of the Schemes have been developed to be client neutral with a view to them being adopted by other clients including Network Rail.
