## Summary

The Department for Transport (DfTc) has awarded a contract for the development of a framework to incorporate unemployment reductions into their appraisal process. The contract, worth £40,000.00 excl. VAT, was signed on 12 December 2023 and has an expiry date of 31/05/2024, with the possibility of a two-month extension. The Institute for Transport Studies at the University of Leeds has been directly awarded the contract due to its expertise in transport, unemployment, and transport appraisal. The procurement method was Single tender action (below threshold), and the tender period ended on 31 October 2023.

This awarded tender presents opportunities for service providers with expertise in economic research, specifically in the area of unemployment impacts on transport projects. As the Department for Transport seeks to enhance its appraisal framework, businesses specialising in economic analysis, transportation, and unemployment research are well-suited to compete. The contract period runs from 12 December 2023 to 31 May 2024, offering potential suppliers a defined timeframe to deliver innovative solutions that align with the Department's objectives.

## Notice

This contract was awarded to two academics affiliated with the University of Leeds' Institute for Transport Studies for the development of a framework to include reduction in unemployment in the Department for Transport's appraisal framework. The contract was signed on 12 December 2023 and has an expiry date of 31/05/2024, with provision to extend in time alone for up to a further two months. The contract has a fixed total cost of PS40,000.00 excl. VAT. The contract was direct awarded, on the basis that competition for this expertise is absent and the contract must be awarded to academics with expertise in transport, unemployment and transport appraisal. The suppliers of this contract are the only two active academics to which it could be awarded - and the contract will build on findings of a recent analysis produced by one of them.
