## Summary

The National Highways organization in England has completed a procurement process for T0402 Smart Motorways - Technical Support services in the research and development category with a contract value of £75,070.16. The tender, under an open procedure above threshold, had its tender period ending on 28th November 2022. The contract period spans from 8th December 2022 to 31st March 2023, with the delivery address located in the South East region.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, especially those in the research and development services sector, to engage with National Highways on a consultancy project aimed at assessing alternative operating regimes for DHS. The project, focusing on customer experience validation in November 2022, requires a supplier to provide technical support in understanding and recommending next steps. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete for this contract, aligning with the buyer's preferences.

## Notice

To undertake a desktop study, using existing research, to assess the likely benefits, costs and risks associated with alternative operating regimes for DHS. This will be supplemented with initial insight designed to validate the statement that 'customers find DHS confusing', and isolate the cause of potential confusion i.e. DHS as a product, or the change between DHS and other operating regimes, such as All Lane Running and Dual 3 Lane Motorway. This work shall also make a recommendation on the next steps of work to meet this commitment; expected to be simulator trials, and additional insight based on the initial findings from this phase of work. The outputs of this work are to be presented to DfT in November 2022.
