Notice Information

Notice Title

Call for Competition: TRAS3102: Department for Transport NTMv5 2024 Highway Model Rebase

Notice Description

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. ********* Please note that this procurement will be run using the Department for Transport's e-sourcing platform Jaggaer, to which all interested suppliers are invited to register. The link for registration is: https://dft.app.jaggaer.com/ Following registration, the ITT 'event' for this opportunity can be accessed at: https://dft.app.jaggaer.com/go/87344675019050AC0B6F All tender documentation can be accessed on this link. Suppliers will need to submit their bid by uploading relevant information to the ITT event and (once all documentation has been uploaded) 'submitting' their response. This procurement will follow a clear, structured and transparent process to ensure a fair and level playing field is maintained at all times, and that all Tenderers are treated equally. The ITT is published on Wednesday 26 June 2024. The deadline for receipt of clarification questions will be 15:00 on Tuesday 16 July 2024. The Authority's target date for responses to clarifications is 15:00 on Friday 19 July 2024. The deadline for submission of bids will be 15:00 on Monday 29 July.
