Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport commissioned Phase 4 of the Road Accident In-Depth Studies programme. The service requires accurate, completed and anonymous investigations of road collisions, together with the infrastructure and agreements needed to collect the data. This is a specialist research and road transport service, including analysis of road accident data and the management of numerous small transactions. The work is for a central government transport department and is delivered in the context of UK road accident investigation and transport research. It may suit organisations that combine collision investigation, transport research, data collection, analytical capability and the operational infrastructure needed to support a continuing national programme.

This procurement has been completed and the contract has been awarded and signed. It used a single lot and an open procedure. The contract was awarded to TRL and signed on 2 September 2026. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. Its value is £4,500,000 excluding VAT and £5,400,000 including VAT. The tender deadline was 3 August 2026 at 12:00, enquiries closed on 22 July 2026 at 12:00, and the award decision period ended on 10 August 2026. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 70% and price at 30%. Economic and technical selection criteria applied, with requirements set out in the procurement documents. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers will need demonstrable capability in in-depth road collision investigation, transport research and the analysis of accident data. They will also need to produce accurate, anonymous completed investigations and operate the infrastructure and agreements required for reliable data collection. The evaluation emphasis shows that a strong technical solution matters more than price alone, so evidence of robust methodologies, data quality controls, analytical expertise and dependable operational delivery would be important. Suppliers should be able to manage numerous small transactions and support a complex public-sector research programme. Experience working with transport bodies, handling sensitive accident information appropriately and turning investigations into useful evidence would strengthen a competing offer.
