## Summary

Highways England is conducting a tender for the project titled "1-1009 North RTM, Trans-Pennine South RTM and Midlands RTM", aimed at maintaining the Highways England Regional Traffic Models and providing ad-hoc transport modelling services. This procurement, classified under the industry category of research and development services, has an estimated value of £203,068 and is part of a selective method initiated under a framework agreement. The contract period is set to begin on 1st April 2020 and will run until 30th April 2021. The tender for this work package concluded on 17th January 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in transport modelling and consultancy, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can deliver on the requirements outlined by Highways England. Companies specialising in the maintenance and development of traffic models or providing associated research and consultancy services would be well-qualified to compete for this contract, potentially expanding their engagement with a major governmental body.

## Notice

The Highways England Regional Traffic Models (RTM) programme involved building five traffic models covering the entirety of England. The approximate geographical coverage of each of the regional models is shown in Figure 1. The models are SATURN highway models supported by DIADEM, which are run using a bespoke interface HEIDI (Highways England Integrated DIADEM Interface). Highways England is now looking to set up work packages to: - Maintain the Regional Traffic Models to ensure their continued applicability over the -2020/21 financial year; and - Undertake ad-hoc transport modelling services using the Regional Traffic Models over the same period. To maximise the efficient procurement, operation and management of these models, the five models will be grouped into two work packages as below: - Work package 1: North RTM, Trans-Pennine South RTM and Midlands RTM - Work package 2: South West RTM and South-East RTM These are to be let as two separate tenders, one as set out in this document (as Work package 1: 1-1009 North RTM, Trans-Pennine South RTM and Midlands RTM) and a second in a parallel tender (as Work package 2: 1-1008 South West RTM and South-East RTM). The five RTMs are currently maintained under existing contracts under SPaTS. The existing contracts will be superseded by the new maintenance contracts as noted above
