## Summary

The procurement process, conducted by Highways England, involves a tender titled "1-1081 CRTN noise monitoring" in the industry category of research and development services. The contract is set to commence on 14th May 2020 and will last until 31st March 2021, with a total value of £46,595. The procurement method employed is selective, following a call-off from an existing framework agreement, and the tender period concluded on 11th May 2020.

This tender provides significant growth opportunities for businesses that specialise in data collection and analysis, particularly those focused on noise monitoring and environmental studies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to compete, especially if they have capabilities to conduct remote noise monitoring effectively. This project aligns well with businesses that have experience working with public authorities and are adept in providing consultancy services related to environmental impact assessments.

## Notice

The Highways England technical lead for noise is a member of the BSi EH1/2 Transportation Noise Committee. This committee is currently exploring the possibility of developing a British Standard to replace the methodology set out in Calculation of Road Traffic Noise, HMSO 1988, (CRTN). Restrictions on public travel were announced in the Prime Ministers Statement on 23rd March 2020 due the COVID-19 pandemic, and these have led to significant reduction traffic flows across the country, including on the strategic road network (SRN). Noise surveys undertaken whilst the restrictions are in place have the potential to obtain data that will prove invaluable during work to develop the replacement for CRTN, particularly if measurements are repeated once the travel restrictions are lifted. The task is deigned to collect as much data as possible, whilst minimising travel by those undertaking the monitoring. It is therefore proposed to ask UK noise professionals to undertake monitoring at their home addresses, where those addresses have the potential to provide good data.
