## Summary

Highways England has awarded a contract titled "1-1006 Traffic Modelling and Economic Assessment for Smart Motorways Schemes - M6 21a-26 and M56 6-8". The project, classified under research and development services, focuses on enhancing traffic modelling and economic appraisal for two significant Smart Motorways schemes in England. The fulfilment of this contract is crucial to meet the project deadlines of July 2020 for the M6 and March 2020 for the M56. The contract period is from 24th January 2020 to 30th April 2020, with an awarded value of approximately £99,880. This selective procurement process was carried out through a call-off from a framework agreement, and the tender period concluded on 13th January 2020.

This contract offers a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in traffic modelling, consultancy services, and economic assessments. Companies with experience in transport and infrastructure projects, particularly those that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), are well-suited to compete. The successful completion of this project will enhance growth prospects for suitable firms, given the ongoing demand for efficient transport solutions in the UK.

## Notice

This work package scope relates to the continuation of traffic modelling and appraisal of TWO Smart Motorways Programme (SMP) schemes, grouped into ONE package order. Highways England have procured design contracts for each of these projects to achieve the deadlines for SoW (M6 July 2020 and M56 March 2020) The traffic modelling and appraisal for these schemes has already involved the development of a local model predicated upon the Trans Pennine South Regional Transport Model (TPSRTM), provision of forecast traffic data for the design purposes and environmental appraisal, and economic appraisal of the schemes. Both schemes require specific updates to the modelling and economic appraisal undertaken thus far to meet outstanding statutory processes. It is imperative that the modelling and economic appraisal for all of these schemes need to be complete by mid-March 2020 to enable the design and statutory processes to be completed in time for start of construction. This means that there is an available window from December 2019 to complete all modelling and appraisal tasks
