Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport (DfTc) has completed the procurement process for the NTMv5 Rebase project. This contract pertains to updating version 5 of the National Transport Model to reflect changes in travel demand after the covid-19 pandemic. The £180,000 award to AtkinsRéalis UK Limited will run from 25th September 2024 to 31st March 2025. Classified under "Research services" (CPV code 73110000), this open procedure (above threshold) is key to enhancing strategic forecasting capabilities for regional traffic by vehicle and road type. The contracting authority is based in London, and the project's deliverables will be relevant across the UK and several overseas territories.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in transport modelling, data analysis, and strategic forecasting. The demand for these services is heightened due to the mandatory updates needed for the National Transport Model. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially well-positioned to benefit from such contracts. Companies with expertise in using PTV VISUM software or those engaging in transportation demand modelling and highway route optimisation could find this project particularly lucrative, setting the stage for future collaborations and growth in similar domains within the public sector.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Contract Award Notice - NTMv5 Rebase

Notice Description

CONTRACT AWARD. NTMv5 is version 5 of the Department's National Transport Model. It is a strategic model of surface travel demand responses and highway route choice. It uses PTV VISUM software (currently version VISUM 23). The Department now requires NTMv5 to be updated to reflect changes in travel demand following the covid-19 pandemic. The update is needed by the end of 2024 to support future forecasting activity in 2025. The forecasting activity is likely to focus more on regional traffic by vehicle type and road type than traffic on individual links, although there may be interest in presenting some information (potentially relating to motorways and other trunk roads) in thematic maps. The main components that need to be updated are the demand model and the highway assignment model. The Department intends to carry out high-level updates to the demand model component of NTMv5 (including trip frequency, mode choice, and if necessary location choice) in-house.
