## Summary

The Department for Transport (DfTc) has completed the procurement process for the contract titled "UK7 Rural Road Segmentation Research - Phase 2". This contract, classified under the industry category of "Design and execution of research and development" (CPV code 73300000), aims to enhance the categorisation of rural roads, building upon previous research by the RAC Foundation. The procurement process, using a direct procurement method through a single tender action, was below the threshold and involved the delivery of services across various locations including British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The tender period ended on 4th June 2026, with the contract starting from 5th June 2026 and concluding on 31st March 2027.

This research project provides a significant business growth opportunity for companies in the research and development sector, particularly those specialising in transportation and infrastructure analysis. Large-scale enterprises with the capability to handle complex road segmentation and categorisation tasks are well-suited to compete for such contracts. The award was granted to Agilysis, a company with the resources and expertise required to undertake comprehensive road research projects. Engaging in similar tenders could lead to enhanced business portfolios and increased visibility in governmental contracts, presenting further expansion opportunities within the public sector.
