## Summary

The Department for Transport (DfTc) has completed a public procurement process for a research project titled "THRE0042 Research into the distributional incidence of the benefits from transport investment." This project falls under the Engineering services category (CPV: 71300000) with additional classifications in Technical support services (CPV: 71356300) and Systems and technical consultancy services (CPV: 72220000). The awarded contract, valued at £150,000 GBP, will span from 1st August 2024 to 31st March 2025. The procurement method used was a call-off from a framework agreement, and the procurement process was in the Award stage as of 2nd August 2024. This contract covers a wide range of locations including the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale enterprises with expertise in engineering and technical consultancy services. The project aims to develop a strong evidence base for applying Distributional Weighting (DW) within UK transport appraisals, which could be of particular interest to firms with capabilities in spatial economic modelling and income segmentation analysis. SME suitability indicated within the tender details makes it a viable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to compete and showcase their technical prowess. The primary supplier for this contract is SYSTRA LIMITED, a company with a large-scale operational capacity, indicating the potential scale and complexity of the work involved.

## Notice

The primary objective of this research project is to provide a robust, defensible basis for applying DW within UK transport appraisal, which can be acceptable to both His Majesty's Treasury and stakeholders within DfT. This project will focus on developing the evidence base for applying DW in routine appraisal cases, where large scale spatial economic modelling is not feasible. Key issues to explore include identifying the ultimate beneficiaries of investments, exploring income segmentation in modelling, and understanding what impacts DW could have on the appraisal of a wide range of types of investment in DfT's portfolio.
