## Summary

The procurement process relates to the SPATS Framework Lot 1 - Agglomeration Elasticities project initiated by the Department for Transport, which aims to explore the relationship between infrastructure investment and economic performance. This tender, classified under research and development services, was carried out in London, with a total contract value of £103,882.68, and spanned from 22nd November 2016 to 21st July 2017. The tender period concluded on 19th October 2016, and the status of the project is now complete, with the award published on 1st December 2016.

This contract presents significant opportunities for consultancy firms and research organisations specialising in economic analysis and infrastructure development. Companies with expertise in agglomeration impacts and the ability to provide detailed assessments of economic performance related to public infrastructure would be well-positioned to compete for similar tenders in the future. Engaging in such projects not only enhances visibility but also facilitates potential growth through partnerships with government entities and other stakeholders involved in transport and economic research.

## Notice

The Department for Transport (the Department), in conjunction with Transport for the North and Transport for London, are keen to do further work to understand the links between infrastructure investment and economic performance and in particular to refresh and extend the existing evidence base. The work is intended ultimately to inform the development of national appraisal guidance but prior to this a range of outputs will be required to meet specific business needs in 2016. This project should result in a clearer and comprehensive narrative surrounding agglomeration impacts. The project should also look to re-estimate and potentially extend the existing elasticities.
