Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport (DfTc) is overseeing a procurement process titled "THRE0020 - Transport Construction and Infrastructure Demand," focusing on research and development as well as consultancy services. The aim is to create a predictive model for transport construction and infrastructure demand. This contract, valued at £706,250, spans from 11th July 2024 to 31st March 2026. The procurement method used is selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The project targets locations including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The final award update was made on 29th January 2026, marking the procurement status as complete.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy and predictive modelling, particularly those that cater to the transport and infrastructure sectors. While large firms like Jacobs UK Limited have previously been successful in this process, the procurement also welcomes small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), underlining its suitability for diverse business scales. Companies familiar with the framework agreement model and capable of offering specialised and tailor-crafted solutions in varying geographic locations will find this project especially lucrative.
