## Summary

The Department for Transport (DfT), represented by National Highways, has awarded a contract for the provision of digital tools and systems aimed at improving road network management. The tender, titled T0423 TRST1004, falls under the research and development services category and has a total value of £82,978.06 in GBP. This selective procurement process, which involved WSP UK Ltd as the supplier, had a tender period ending on 27th January 2023 and a contract period spanning from 7th February 2023 to 30th April 2024 in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This awarded contract by the DfT presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses, especially those in the services sector, to engage in innovative projects under the government's network management initiatives. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to explore potential collaborations in this field. The framework agreement call-off method used in this procurement offers a structured approach for businesses to contribute to real-time testing and policy interventions, ultimately enhancing area-wide network management practices.

## Notice

The Department for Transport (DfT) is not sighted on many of the digital innovations currently being designed and implemented by highway authorities to manage their network. This specification seeks to capture this intelligence; undertake research into the full range of data-driven measures now available for the real-time testing and deployment of policy interventions; and to assess their capability to improve area-wide and policy-led network management. The final stage reporting should contribute to current DfT research to update its statutory Network Management Duty guidance.
