## Summary

The Department for Transport has awarded a contract for the evaluation of interventions aimed at improving the behaviour of learner and novice drivers. This procurement, classified under research and development services, was conducted using a selective (restricted) procedure and concluded with a total contract value of approximately £1.93 million. The award notice was published on 27 April 2017, following the completion of the tender period which ended on 12 December 2016. The contract is set to run from 24 April 2017 until 31 October 2020, with the delivery address located in the South East of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses in the research and consultancy sectors, particularly those with expertise in driver behaviour and safety interventions. Firms engaged in educational programme development, technological solutions for driver training, or real-world testing methodologies would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Capitalising on this type of contract can significantly enhance a business's profile and pave the way for further contracts within the public transport sector.

## Notice

DFt want to understand the effectiveness of pre and post test educational, technological and training interventions in improving novice driver behaviour and reducing novice driver collision rates. An initial evidence review, undertaken by TRL, has identified four intervention types that show particular promise. DFT now wishes to test these four interventions, together with a new educational intervention, in the real-world via Randomised Controlled Trail with young learners and novice drivers, in order to determine the impact that each of the five interventions has on safety of participants, in terms of their likelihood of having a collision within twelve months of passing their test.
