## Summary

The procurement process, concluded on 30th October 2025, was spearheaded by the Department for Transport (DfTc) and aimed to establish a National Transport Analysis Platform. This initiative, under CPV classification 72000000, falls within the IT services industry and was carried out through a selective procurement method using a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract, valued at £5,000,000, began on 18th September 2025 and will continue until 31st August 2028. It covers service delivery on a global scale, including locations such as the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, and other European regions. This tender, now in the award stage, saw Ove Arup & Partners Ltd emerge successfully as the supplier for the platform, which is designed to enhance the efficiency of national transport analysis.

This contract opens up significant growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in IT consulting, software development, and Internet services. Given its focus on developing a robust analytical platform, companies with expertise in transport modelling and data-driven solutions can greatly benefit from engagement in similar projects. Additionally, the procurement supports SME involvement, indicating that smaller enterprises with niche technology solutions or innovative approaches could successfully engage with future tenders from DfTc. Such opportunities can drive growth through technological advancements in transport analysis, meeting the evolving demands of the transport sector.

## Notice

The primary objective is to establish a robust and highly scalable platform capable of supporting comprehensive national transport analysis across a variety of scenarios and datasets. This advanced system is specifically designed to significantly decrease the time required for transport modelling activities, thereby improving operational efficiency and unlocking new opportunities for innovation and growth within the sector. By streamlining modelling processes, stakeholders will be better positioned to respond to emerging trends and policy requirements. The implementation of the National Transport Analysis Platform (NTAP) will serve as a critical enabler for subsequent advancements in Activity-Based Modelling (ABM) and the development of sophisticated freight modelling solutions. Insights gained from NTAP's deployment are expected to directly inform and enhance future modelling strategies, ensuring that the transport analysis framework remains responsive, data-driven, and at the forefront of industry best practice.
