This tender falls within the services category, specifically research services, and covers the UK region. The procurement method is an open procedure, focusing on transport economics, modelling, and related disciplines like machine learning and operational research. The competition was launched on 23rd October 2024, with key deadlines including the application submission by 29th November 2024 and results notification by 19th December 2024. Businesses with expertise in transport modelling and economics, particularly those specialising in data science and machine learning, are well-positioned for growth opportunities through this tender. The framework provides a platform for suppliers to engage in transport-related projects, with emphasis on technical expertise and policy awareness as award criteria. While work under the panel is not guaranteed, the agreement does offer connections and potential collaborations with government entities. Both large organisations and SMEs in fields relevant to transport and its economic impacts are encouraged to participate in this open procurement process. ## Notice This contract is for the provision of a Transport Appraisal and Modelling panel. The panel will operate as a framework, enabling DfT to access detailed advice and scrutiny from Expert Panel Members in: * Transport economics and appraisal, including any of: cost-benefit analysis, values of time, environmental impacts, scheme costs, non-market valuation, microeconomic theory, wider economic impacts and Supplementary Economic Modelling (SEM)., including detailed knowledge of modelling of interactions between transport and the wider economy, and knowledge of techniques such as S-CGE, LUTI and QSM. * Transport modelling, including forecasting models and in-depth knowledge of all modelling aspects, such as data sources, demand modelling, assignment modelling, active travel and new mobility modelling, freight modelling, agent-based methods and activity-based demand modelling. * Related disciplines, such as geographic data science, machine learning or AI, econometrics, or operational research. The panel will run for a period of three years. The maximum value of all work commissioned through the panel over the three years will be PS300,000, excl. VAT. This spend is not guaranteed, as use of the panel will be subject to the DfT's requirements. ### Lot Information Specialism 1: Transport economics and appraisal * Transport economics and appraisal, including any of: cost-benefit analysis, values of time, environmental impacts, scheme costs, non-market valuation, microeconomic theory, wider economic impacts and Supplementary Economic Modelling (SEM)., including detailed knowledge of modelling of interactions between transport and the wider economy, and knowledge of techniques such as S-CGE, LUTI and QSM.
