## Summary

The procurement process concerns a contracted service undertaken by THE DEPARTMENT FOR TRANSPORT for the project titled "SPATS - Prog for Maintaining a Robust Valuation of Travel Time services." This initiative, falling under the category of research and development services, is situated in London, United Kingdom. The contract, awarded via a selective procurement method, has a value of £73,700 and marks its active award phase as of late August 2017, with the contract period running from 1st September 2017 to 19th January 2018.

This tender presents potential growth opportunities, particularly for businesses engaged in research, consultancy, and analytics related to travel time and transport. Companies specialising in advanced modelling techniques or those with experience in conducting high-level economic assessments are especially well-suited to compete. As the public sector continually seeks innovative methods for evaluating travel efficiencies, firms that can provide cutting-edge solutions will find a favourable landscape within this contract framework.

## Notice

The recently finished Value of Time research (completed in 2015) was highly innovative in its field, applying world leading analytical techniques in order to robustly model the values of time based on stated preference survey evidence of willingness to pay for travel time savings. However, survey and modelling techniques relevant for assessing the value of time are constantly being developed in academia, industry and the public sector, so it is necessary to keep abreast of these developments if the DfT's value of time assumptions are to remain a robust and defensible basis for supporting decision making.
