## Summary

Highways England has completed the procurement process for the project titled "1-957 Freight Value of Time and Value of Reliability", focusing on research and development services related to the transport sector. The contract, valued at approximately £85,192, was awarded to Arup and is located in the North East region of England. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, with the tender period concluding on 29 October 2019 and the contract period spanning from 17 December 2019 to 30 November 2020.

This procurement represents a valuable opportunity for research and consulting firms specialising in transport economics and traffic analysis. Businesses that possess expertise in delivering robust research methodologies and can offer credible valuations in transport appraisal frameworks would be particularly well-suited to participate in such tenders. As the Department for Transport seeks to refine its analysis and guidance, firms that can leverage this expertise may find new avenues for partnership and growth within the public sector.

## Notice

Highways England and the Department for Transport (DfT) are looking to set up a contract for provision of services to identify the values of time and reliability for freight. The research will produce robust, credible and nationally (England) representative valuations that could be included within DfT's Transport Analysis Guidance (TAG) and used in the appraisal of road transport investments.
