## Summary

The procurement process, led by Highways England, involves a tender titled "T0115 - DfT TRAS0062 - National Trip End Model (NTEM) Short Term Update Data Refresh". This project falls within the research and development services and related consultancy services industry category and is based in Birmingham, England. The procurement method used is a selective approach via a framework agreement, with the contract period starting from 26 August 2021 and concluding on 30 November 2021. The tender was awarded with a total value of £98,126.07, and the relevant tender period ended on 14 July 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in data analysis, modelling, and transport consultancy services. Companies experienced in delivering updated research and ensuring compliance with government standards for quality would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The results from this project are intended to inform the Department's Transport Analysis Guidance, which further emphasises the importance of accurate and timely data processing in the transport sector.

## Notice

The aim of this project is to update the National Trip End Model (NTEM), which is a trip generation model of England, Scotland and Wales. It forecasts how the demand for surface transport will evolve over the long term. It needs to be updated with more recent data than was available in 2017, when the model was last run. In addition, we want to broaden the scope of the model by increasing the final modelled year until 2061 and by running the model for several possible futures as well as forecasting a central ('core') scenario. The new model run will meet departmental and government-wide standards for quality, and will be accompanied by documentation and reports that conform to the latest accessibility and transparency guidelines. The project needs to deliver results to inform the November update to the Department's Transport Analysis Guidance (TAG).
