## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Highways England, involves the contract titled "1-650 P04102073 Production of Up-Dated Fuel Consumption and Emission Curves for NTM and WebTAG". This contract falls under the services category, specifically relating to research and development services. The procurement method employed is a selective process, executed as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period commenced on 31st August 2018 and is set to conclude on 30th November 2018. Relevant deadlines include the end of the tender period, which occurred on 21st August 2018.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in research and consultancy services related to air quality and emissions analysis. Companies with the capability to deliver high-level consultancy and modelling services, akin to those provided by Arup and their partners, would be well-positioned to compete. This is especially relevant for large-scale firms experienced in public sector contracts, as the complexity and specialised nature of the work necessitate expert knowledge aligned with national inventories.

## Notice

DfT are supporting a direct award to Arup for this work package to be undertaken by their supply chain partner Ricardo AEA Ricardo are uniquely placed as expert consultants in air quality who have sole responsibility for the compilation of the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventories reports for greenhouse gases and air quality on behalf of Defra and BEIS. It would be prohibitively costly for an alternative supplier to replicate their modelling work and provide us with a consistent set of outputs. It is also vital that our analysis is aligned with the national inventories to ensure a consistent analytical approach across Whitehall. Finally, in our view there would be significant risk of failure and/or delay should the work be let to an alternative supplier.
