## Summary

National Highways, based in Birmingham, England, has completed a tender titled "T0631 Development of new Lead Safety Indicators" under the industry category of Development Consultancy Services (CPV 73220000). This selective procurement, using a call-off from a framework agreement, covered a variety of regions including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, United Kingdom, and globally. The tender process ended on 1 November 2024, with the contract starting on 10 December 2024 and concluding on 31 March 2025. The contract was awarded to WSP UK LTD for a value of £51,903.46 and focuses on assessing evidence to develop new lead safety indicators relevant to road safety, in alignment with National Highways' "Road to Zero Harm" roadmap.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly SMEs, to collaborate with a major public sector body like National Highways, enhancing their portfolio and showcasing their capabilities in developing evidence-based safety indicators. The project involves extensive consultancy work including literature review and stakeholder consultation, ideal for firms with expertise in road safety, data analysis, and performance metrics. This could lead to further opportunities with National Highways or similar organisations, thus providing a pathway for business growth and expansion into public sector contracts.

## Notice

Task 1: Assess evidence and produce list of potential indicators This task must: Establish what is good practice with regards to LSIs in the domain of road safety and with relevance to road networks like the SRN. Produce a balanced and evidence-based initial list of potential indicators with strong links to casualty reduction in the context of the SRN. This list needs to reflect our needs to forecast and influence KPI1 and monitor intermediate outcomes of our Road to Zero Harm roadmap. There must be a clear rationale for including each indicator that reflects the criteria listed in section 110.1. The consultant is to propose the method they consider best for completing this task, as well as the rationale for why this is the best method. However, it is anticipated that this will involve a combination of literature review (including previous reports commissioned by National Highways and other grey literature) and consultation with a range of road authorities and experts, including subject matter experts within National Highways. The literature review needs to be well targeted but does not need to be extensive. It is anticipated that the consultation will produce additional grey literature for review. A member of the National Highways project team should be involved in each discussion and will support setting up internal meetings. The inception meeting and project meetings should be used to agree who is going to be consulted and to finalise agreement of search terms and literature to be reviewed, ensure we are working from the most recent version of any relevant documents (e.g. Performance Specification Principles for Metrics) as well as any logistical matters. The consultant should allow for potential changes to e.g. the Performance Specification Principles and include mitigation measures to ensure that we are always working with the most up to date version. If appropriate, the Principal Analytical Business Partner responsible for RIS 3 performance specifications will be included in project meetings to ensure close alignment. Task 2: Assess and shortlist the indicators This task must establish the following information for each potential indicator: - Strength and nature of their relationship to lagging indicators (KPI1 and associated PIs). - Mechanism through which National Highways' activity influences performance against these indicators, or robust reason why we need to track this indicator (e.g. informs forecasting and target setting). - Whether any of these exist already in NH or how easily can they be implemented and what we would need to consider in implementation/ embedment. This should consider how we can best capitalise on data sources National Highways already has access to in-house (or may soon have access to, e.g. via our future compliance technologies project which may enable the capability to monitor mobile phone and seatbelt use). - How they rank against National Highways' Performance Specification Principles for Metrics. - Wh
