## Summary

The public procurement process involves Highways England as the contracting authority for the project titled "T0158 Operator Ping Feasibility Study."

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for service providers specialising in research, development, and consultancy services, particularly those focused on transport safety and compliance. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this an advantageous opportunity due to the approach towards inclusive procurement practices. Companies capable of driving innovative solutions and partnerships with organisations like Highways England could benefit from contributing to the shared goals of enhancing driver behaviour and reducing incidents involving commercial vehicles.

## Notice

The objective of this project is to reduce non-compliant / poor driver behaviour by informing the right people in organisations to tackle the problems being captured on our network before more serious events occur. This in turn will result in safer drivers and a safer network and specifically contribute to "Improving safety for all". Target outcomes for this project are as follows: - A reduction in incidents and KSIs on the network relating to commercial vehicle drivers. - A reduction in non-compliant behaviour. - Improved customer satisfaction as they become less frustrated by the common behaviours attributed to commercial vehicles. - Greater awareness with commercial vehicle operators (van and HGV) of Highways England's role in supporting them in influencing driver behaviours. - Contribute to the HE goal of improving and expanding service without adding additional hardware.
