## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Highways England, involves the tender titled "1-932 DfT - Transport Modelling Panel for Bid Assessment & Co-Development." This project falls under the industry category of research and development services, specifically related consultancy services. The contract, valued at £249,907, is based in Birmingham, England. Currently at the award stage, the contract commenced on 15 August 2019 and will conclude on 29 February 2020. The procurement method used for this tender is selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period having ended on 7 August 2019.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in transport modelling and analytical assurance services. Companies with expertise in economic appraisal, value for money assessments, and compliance with the Department for Transport's guidelines would be particularly well-suited to compete for this work. As the project calls for innovative approaches in transport analysis, businesses offering creative solutions and a strong understanding of modelling uncertainties may especially thrive in this competitive landscape.

## Notice

The objective of the Transport Modelling Panel will be to provide advice on quality and consistency with the Department's Transport Analysis Guidance (TAG) of the modelling, option development and economic appraisal that underpins the Value for Money Assessment. The advice will cover two aspects of the analysis: (1) Value for Money advice - whether the analysis addresses the aims of the fund, correct principles of proportionality have been applied, whether the transport modelling approach has been applied consistently with TAG and whether the uncertainties of modelling and forecasting would affect the conclusion on the value for money case; and (2) Analytical Assurance Statement advice - whether the analysis has been carried out consistently with the DfT Analytical Assurance Framework 'Strength in Numbers' . Where innovative approaches involving significant diversions from TAG have been used, a third, additional, output is required. This will be a summary of the innovative approach and the benefits and risks to understanding the impacts of transport investment and recommendations to the Department on whether this approach should be further considered when developing guidance. This will be in short note form.
