This procurement falls under the services category and involves updating the National Transport Model to reflect post-covid-19 travel demand changes. The procurement will be conducted through the Department for Transport's e-sourcing platform Jaggaer. Key dates for interested suppliers include the deadline for bid submission on July 29, 2024, and the target date for contract award decision on August 12, 2024. The project aims to update the demand model and the highway assignment model by the end of 2024. This tender opportunity by the Department for Transport presents a chance for businesses in the research services industry to contribute to strategic transportation planning. Companies well-versed in research services and transportation modelling using PTV VISUM software may find this opportunity particularly suitable for business growth. The procurement process is open, providing a transparent and fair chance for all interested suppliers to compete for this project, improving their market presence and potentially securing a significant contract with a reputable governmental authority in the United Kingdom. ## Notice NTMv5 is version 5 of the Department's National Transport Model. It is a strategic model of surface travel demand responses and highway route choice. It uses PTV VISUM software (currently version VISUM 23). The Department now requires NTMv5 to be updated to reflect changes in travel demand following the covid-19 pandemic. The update is needed by the end of 2024 to support future forecasting activity in 2025. The forecasting activity is likely to focus more on regional traffic by vehicle type and road type than traffic on individual links, although there may be interest in presenting some information (potentially relating to motorways and other trunk roads) in thematic maps. The main components that need to be updated are the demand model and the highway assignment model. The Department intends to carry out high-level updates to the demand model component of NTMv5 (including trip frequency, mode choice, and if necessary location choice) in-house. ******************** Please note that this procurement will be run using the Department for Transport's e-sourcing platform Jaggaer, to which all interested suppliers are invited to register.
