The purpose of this tender is to conduct a scoping study to update the Value of Travel Time (VTT) and Value of Travel Time Reliability (VTTR) used by the Department. Key dates include the issue of the ITT on 30/10/23, Tender Deadline on 01/12/23, and other deadlines for clarifications. This open procedure (below threshold) tender is valued at £75,000 and falls under the main procurement category of services. This tender by the Department for Transport presents opportunities for businesses in the research services sector to contribute to the transport analysis field. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate. Businesses interested in economic research services and with expertise in transport modelling and appraisal would be well-suited to compete for this tender. The opportunity requires bidders to register on the e-portal platform Jaggaer and follow specific procedures outlined in the tender document. ## Notice The current Value of Travel Time (VTT; also commonly referred to as the Value of Travel Time Savings) and Value of Travel Time Reliability (VTTR) recommended in the DfT's Transport Analysis Guidance (TAG) were estimated in the most recent national UK study. Whilst these values are still considered robust and appropriate for the analysis of transport schemes, travel patterns and behaviours continue to change, as do the demands and techniques of transport modelling and appraisal. Given this, and the time required to plan, scope, procure and deliver a new national study, the DfT have initiated the planning of an update to the VTT and VTTR used by the Department. The DfT wish to commission a Scoping Study as a first step to help establish the key theoretical and practical considerations, areas of advancement since the last study, and to provide recommendations with which to progress to a full primary study. The intended dates for the ITT are as follows: Date of issue of ITT to bidders invited to tender (Tenderers) 30/10/23 Deadline for receipt of clarifications 17/11/23 Target date for responses to clarifications 24/11/23 Deadline for receipt of Tenders (Tender Deadline) 01/12/23 Additional information: Only suppliers who register interest will be eligible.
