## Summary

The Department for Transport has awarded a contract to WSP, worth 159,810.66 GBP, for the project entitled "T0397 TMAF1002 Longer Heavier Vehicle Trials, Monitoring & Evaluation." The procurement method used was selective, with a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period is from 31st October 2022 to 30th April 2023. Highways England, based in Birmingham, acted as the buyer in this process.

This tender for research and development services and related consultancy services by the Department for Transport offers business growth opportunities for firms interested in decarbonising road transport and improving freight efficiency. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to compete in this tender, given the focus on technical feasibility and monitoring of LHVs on GB roads. Companies with expertise in research and development services would find this tender particularly relevant for their business expansion.

## Notice

As part of the Government's commitment to decarbonise road transport, improve air quality and improve efficiency of freight movements, the Department for Transport commissioned a study to determine the technical feasibility of trialling LHVs on GB roads. This study identified essential work that needs to be undertaken before a decision can be made as to whether to proceed to a trial phase. This work is to be undertaken in this package of work, referred to as Stage 2, and will include the concurrent development of a monitoring and evaluation framework to capture benefits and costs for any potential commercial road trial.
