## Summary

The West Northamptonshire Council has awarded a contract for the Northamptonshire Strategic Transport Model to Aecom Limited. The tender, titled "Northamptonshire Strategic Transport Model," falls under the industry category of transport systems consultancy services. The contract value is £2,305,763 GBP, and it was awarded through a selective procurement method, as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on October 6, 2023, and the contract period is from April 9, 2024, to April 8, 2032. The buying organisation, West Northamptonshire Council, is located in Northampton, England.

This tender presents opportunities for service providers in the transport consultancy sector, particularly those with expertise in updating and maintaining strategic transport models. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this opportunity appealing due to the council's interest in appointing a Service Provider for this significant project. The focus on compliance with TAG guidelines and the forecast development for 2031 and 2041 offer a chance for businesses to showcase their capabilities in supporting spatial strategies, transport improvements, and policy changes based on robust evidence and modelling.

## Notice

The Customer is issuing this Invitation to Tender as a Further Competition under Lot 5 - Highways, Traffic and Transport of ESPO Framework 664_21. The current Northamptonshire Strategic Transport Model (NSTM) last had a major update in 2015 using Mobile Network Data (MND), Automatic Traffic Counts (ATCs), Manual Classified Counts (MCCs) and public transport information throughout Northamptonshire. Since then, the NSTM baseline has not been significantly updated; however, mobility patterns and associated modelling approaches have changed. As such this model is now at the end of its current validity, both practically and according to TAG guidance, and the Customer is looking to appoint a Service Provider to undertake this work. The NSTM has provided a single platform capable of assessing changes in travel demand in response to changes in highway infrastructure, public transport provision, population and employment or retail facilities across the County of Northamptonshire. An update/rebuild will ensure that the new NSTM remains a useful, robust and TAG-compliant strategic tool for developing the evidence base for spatial strategies, transport improvements, policy changes and business case support. The proposal on approach and recommendations of a model update should be based on TAG guidelines, and should allow for current 2023 travel demand patterns and transport infrastructure, also taking into consideration technological advancements that could add value to model forecasts. As well as developing a new 2023 base model, this opportunity includes the subsequent development of a forecast Core Scenario for 2031 and 2041, undertaking a variety of future year tasks. Service Providers are also invited to set out proposals for data acquisition and storage, model updates and maintenance, and usage of the model by the two councils independently.
