## Summary

Highways England is seeking a consultant for the project titled "T0248 Benefits Realisation for Electric Van Centres," aimed at evaluating the benefits of a try-before-you-buy programme for electric vans. The procurement, classified under the Research and development services and related consultancy services sector, is currently in the Award stage following its completion. The contract, valued at £102,921.89, commenced on 16th March 2022 and will remain active until 31st March 2024. The procurement method used is selective, through a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period having ended on 27th January 2022.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in consultancy, especially those with expertise in sustainability and transport innovation. Given that National Highways has invested in transitioning from diesel to electric vehicles, companies that can provide insightful evaluations on environmental impacts, cost benefits, and behavioural shifts will likely find this tender aligns with their services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with relevant capabilities are particularly encouraged to consider this opportunity for growth within the evolving green transport sector.

## Notice

This project is to appoint a Consultant to evaluate and report on the full range of benefits (quantitative and qualitative including behavioural change) for the Electric Van try-before-you-buy programme. National Highways invested PS12.5M in this type of scheme designed to encourage businesses to make the switch from diesel vans to electric (zero emission at the tailpipe) alternatives. Such investment was beyond business as usual for National Highways and was an important element of the Air Quality Designated Fund programme.
