## Summary

The procurement process for the "Slots Policy Design" project, initiated by the Department for Transport, involved the provision of a report on airport slot allocation at an expanded Heathrow airport. This tender, classified under research and development services, was conducted through a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement.
