It focuses on the "S30075d Third Generation Midlands Regional Traffic Model Build" and is classified under development consultancy services (CPV code 73220000). The project location includes a broad scope covering the United Kingdom and other regions worldwide. This procurement has reached the award stage, with AtkinsRéalis Jacobs Joint Venture appointed as the supplier. The contract commenced on 19th May 2026 and will conclude on 31st March 2028. The procurement method employed was selective, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period closing on 25th March 2026. This tender offers significant opportunities for firms specialising in traffic model development consultancy services. As the project aims to update crucial traffic models, businesses adept at providing innovative and robust solutions to evolving travel behaviour will find potential for growth. SMEs and VCSEs are particularly suited to engage with this opportunity due to the suitability criteria defined within the tender process. Large established firms like the AtkinsRéalis Jacobs Joint Venture demonstrate the tender's potential to attract major players and collaborations, reinforcing its scope and the strategic importance of contributing to the Midlands Regional Traffic Model development. ## Notice The existing traffic models have delivered substantial efficiency savings for National Highways by streamlining traffic modelling and economic appraisal activities across Project Control Framework (PCF) schemes and have played a critical role in underpinning the RIS2 and RIS3 business cases. However, the current models are based on 2019 travel patterns and, while providing forecasts to 2061, no longer fully reflect post COVID changes in travel behaviour. This project is therefore essential to update the baseline year to 2025 and produce a refreshed set of forecasts, ensuring a robust, credible and contemporary evidence base to support decision making. Delivered as part of the Road Traffic Modelling RTM programme, the project focuses on the development of the third generation Midlands Regional Traffic Model MRTM3, replacing the existing MRTM2 model. The refreshed models will strengthen support for both existing and emerging use cases, maintain confidence in future investment decisions, and require appointed consultants to work proactively with other suppliers across the RTM3 programme to ensure consistency and coherence across the national modelling framework. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3d524722-da65-4fa1-9918-ffa5f6a11e9f | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 May 2026 | | Submission deadline | 25 Mar 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 18 May 2026 | | Contract period | 18 May 2026 - 31 Mar 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £623,219 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £623,219 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATIONAL HIGHWAYS LIMITED | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B4 6GA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Ladywood | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ATKINSRÉALIS JACOBS JOINT VENTURE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73220000 - Development consultancy services ## Release History - 19 May 2026 at 12:43 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3d524722-da65-4fa1-9918-ffa5f6a11e9f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3d524722-da65-4fa1-9918-ffa5f6a11e9f 19th May 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/440c0d5f-c9fa-4203-ab68-a7bd79c86389 n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
