## Summary

The Highways Agency is seeking expertise through the SPaTS Framework Lot 1: Older Drivers Engineering Measures Research contract, valued at £89,568.19. This procurement, classified under Highways consultancy services, is based in England and has recently reached the award stage with an active status since 20th July 2017.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy related to traffic and road safety, particularly those with a focus on improving driving conditions for older motorists.

Collaborating with industry experts and engaging with the Highways England Design Manual for Roads and Bridges could also enhance prospects for those looking to bid on similar projects in the future.

## Notice

The task will produce a recommendations report to identify aspects of the UK motorway and trunk road layout and traffic signing design that might usefully be modified in ways that would make driving easier and safer for older drivers, and also safer for all drivers. Consultation, both with representative groups, industry, and Highways England Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) document owners will play a key part throughout all work packages.
