This project falls under the research services category and is based in the United Kingdom. Currently in the Tender stage, suppliers are invited to submit their proposals by the deadline of 2nd January 2018. The contract period is expected to commence on 16th January 2018 and will last until 16th July 2018. The procurement follows an open market method, allowing a wider range of suppliers to compete for this opportunity. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in research and analytics services, particularly those with expertise in transport connectivity metrics. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this procurement particularly suitable, as the buying organisation encourages their participation. Suppliers who can demonstrate capability in developing comprehensive analytical reports and data presentations regarding transport metrics across various spatial levels would be well-positioned to compete effectively for this contract. ## Notice The Authority requires a Supplier to develop transport connectivity metrics to allow identification of current pressures on the transport network. The metrics must be constructed at three different spatial levels and should be able to recognise constraints based on the transport network itself. The Supplier is expected to provide a report detailing a descriptive analysis of the connectivity indicators produced, how they were calculated and their theoretical justification. This should also include a summary of any assumptions and limitations of the analysis undertaken. The Supplier is also to provide analysis of current, (and if possible historic) connectivity within Great Britain's cities and between cities and other locations. This should be a summary of key findings and data, produced in a spreadsheet format.
