Summary of the contracting process

National Highways has completed the selective procurement process titled "T0638 Future Modelling - Policy Modelling," under the CPV classification of Development consultancy services. The awarded contract, valued at £97,453.09, aims to create a proof-of-concept model for the Transport Planning Group (TPG). This model will aid in making a case internally for a full procurement of a suitable policy model in the financial years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027. The procurement was completed through a call-off from a framework agreement, with the contract period running from 13th December 2024 to 31st March 2025, and involves multiple delivery locations including the United Kingdom, Europe, and other regions globally.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs and VCSEs, by providing a platform for developing advanced policy models that can influence future transportation planning. Firms with expertise in developing elasticity models, meta-models, or system dynamics models would find this contract particularly suitable. Large consultancies such as Ove Arup & Partners Limited, who have been awarded this contract, highlight the scale and scope of work required, thereby enabling collaborations or subcontracting opportunities with smaller firms seeking to engage in high-impact consultancy services.

Notice Title

T0638 Future Modelling - Policy Modelling

Notice Description

The Supplier will develop proof of concept model. The aim is to leave the Transport Planning Group (TPG) in a position where it is able to make the case internally for procurement and then (subject to internal governance and financial approvals) to procure the full development of a suitable policy model (the 'preferred option') in Financial Years 25/26 to 26/27. Three broad options have been shortlisted in the work to date, although these should not be considered an exhaustive list: - Elasticity model (probably with a simplified supply representation) - Meta-model (probably based on runs of existing strategic model(s)) - System dynamics model The proof of concept model will be a platform that is a blend between certain aspects of each of the Elasticity and Meta models.
