The procurement process is in the tender stage, with the deadline for submissions set for 28th February 2022. The overall value of the contract is £12 million, and the expected contract period spans from 14th December 2022 to 13th December 2030. This opportunity is situated in England and primarily involves developing and applying various transport modelling components, including highway and public transport supply models. This contract presents significant opportunities for consultancy firms specialising in engineering design, environmental analysis, and software programming. Businesses with expertise in transport demand modelling, environmental consultancy, and project management would find this tender particularly relevant. The work will mainly focus on applying the Pan Regional Transport Model (PRTM) and related frameworks, making it a great match for businesses capable of delivering high-quality technical services in transport and environmental contexts. ## Notice To carry out work using the Pan Regional Transport Model (PRTM) and other associated or future countywide or regional models. PRTM is divided into 5 main components below followed by a series of tertiary requirements: 1) Highway Supply Model (SATURN) 2) Public Transport Supply Model (EMME) 3) Demand Model (EMME) including a Parking Model 4) Land-Use 5) Environmental Analysis Further details of the requirements for each of the components are provided below. Highway Supply Model (SATURN) & Public Transport Supply Model (EMME) To undertake highway and public transport assignment modelling using the SATURN and EMME software, sufficient to allow work to be undertaken without any formal training in the specifics of PRTM. Demand Model (EMME) The demand model is a bespoke application created using EMME application software. Consultants will be expected to demonstrate extensive experience in creation and application of comprehensive transport demand models. Direct knowledge of EMME applications in demand models would be useful but is not essential. The demand model includes mechanisms by which the total PRTM system is controlled. PRTM Land-Use Model (DELTA) The land-use model has been created by the David Simmonds Consultancy using the company's bespoke software, known as DELTA. Consultants will be expected to provide land-use modelling, either directly or via the use of a sub- contractor, from creation through to the application on studies as well as knowledge of interpretation and use of land-use model outputs. The normal software used for this purpose is DELTA. The land-use component of the PRTM can be run using the bespoke DELTA software developed by the David Simmonds Consultancy or with the module decoupled and planning data input via a spreadsheet interface. Environmental Analysis Suite (EASE) The PRTM has two traffic and transport and environmental analysis software packages set up for ETFC and available for use by any of the panel consultants. The first, known as EASE (Environmental Analysis SuitE), is link based and based on DEFRA's, Emission Factors Toolkit (EFT). The second, known as RapidAir and developed by Ricardo, is an air quality dispersion model. The work will primarily be concerned with the application of PRTM, to produce outputs for end users. However, panel members may be asked to undertake limited model development work from time to time (though major updates to PRTM will be the subject of a separate contract). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/28d0a2e4-7e7a-4a0f-ad64-24c0ee8ed794 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Jan 2022 | | Submission deadline | 28 Feb 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 14 Dec 2022 - 13 Dec 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £12,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE3 8RA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Blaby | | Electoral ward | Glenfield Faire | | Westminster constituency | Mid Leicestershire | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 71311200 - Transport systems consultancy services - 71311210 - Highways consultancy services - 71311300 - Infrastructure works consultancy services - 71312000 - Structural engineering consultancy services - 71313000 - Environmental engineering consultancy services - 71315000 - Building services - 71320000 - Engineering design services - 71350000 - Engineering-related scientific and technical services - 71530000 - Construction consultancy services - 72200000 - Software programming and consultancy services - 72224000 - Project management consultancy services - 72227000 - Software integration consultancy services - 72240000 - Systems analysis and programming services - 72266000 - Software consultancy services - 79416000 - Public relations services - 90713000 - Environmental issues consultancy services ## Release History - 21 Jan 2022 at 12:20 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/28d0a2e4-7e7a-4a0f-ad64-24c0ee8ed794 - 21 Jan 2022 at 12:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b14dca43-15f3-4455-aad0-49e1c98d3bca ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/28d0a2e4-7e7a-4a0f-ad64-24c0ee8ed794 21st January 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b14dca43-15f3-4455-aad0-49e1c98d3bca 21st January 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=6a86296e-9977-ec11-8110-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.eastmidstenders.org/index.html ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
