## Summary

The procurement process involves Highways England, which is based in Birmingham, England, and is conducting a tender for the project titled "1-1037 Tunnel fire incident statistics study." This study aims to establish consistent vehicle fire incident frequency rates in tunnels across current projects. The procurement method used is selective, executed as a call-off from a framework agreement, and is currently in the Award stage. The contract, valued at approximately £16,636, commenced on 9th March 2020 and will run until 10th April 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the research and consultancy services sector, to engage with Highways England's initiatives. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in risk assessment, fire safety equipment, and data analysis on vehicle incidents will find this procurement especially relevant. Competing firms can leverage this project to contribute to vital infrastructure safety studies, which will potentially enhance their profiles within the industry.

## Notice

The Highways England Tunnel Design Authority (TDA) have identified that the approach to vehicle fire incident frequency rates in tunnels is not consistent across current tunnel projects for Highways England. This should be resolved by a study of the available sources of information to determine a reliable figure for the frequency of large vehicle fires in the UK. This will be used in quantitative risk assessments for the provision and performance of fire safety equipment in road tunnels on the strategic road network.
