## Summary

The Department for Transport has completed a tender process titled "DATA STRATEGY RESEARCH- DISCOVERY," focusing on research services. This contract, valued at £38,000, was awarded on 23rd May 2019, following a direct procurement method via a single tender action. The contract period spans from 24th May 2019 to 30th July 2019, with delivery locations including various territories such as the British Overseas Territories, Europe, and the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is now at the award phase, having been initiated as part of the planning for a transport data strategy.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in research services, particularly those with expertise in data strategy and analysis. Firms with capabilities in conducting data maturity assessments and offering strategic recommendations would be well positioned to compete in future tenders within the transport sector. The focus on enhancing departmental engagement with the external ecosystem makes this an attractive area for innovative solutions and business growth.

## Notice

The researcher will con duct a scoping exercise with respect to DfT developing a transport data strategy. The exercise should provide help in assessing where the department is in terms of data maturity, capability, direction and engagement with the external ecosystem, and where we want to get to in 3-5 years, providing recommendations in drafting a data strategy mindful of user needs.
