## Summary

Transport Scotland has awarded a contract for the project titled "Suitability of Kerbing Details Phase 4" to Mott MacDonald. The procurement process was initiated through a tender, and the contract has been signed on December 14, 2022. The project falls under the services category within the industry of Transport Research. The location for this project is in Glasgow, UK (postal code: G4 0HF). The study aims to improve road safety for vulnerable users, particularly cyclists, by testing kerbs at Edinburgh Napier University and potentially setting new standards for Scotland and beyond.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in service provision, particularly those with a focus on transport research and inclusive design, to compete. Businesses with expertise in road safety, kerb design, and laboratory testing would be well-suited to participate in this project. The contract has been awarded under the Multiple Framework Agreement for Transport Research. Interested parties should consider the rigorous nature of the study, which aims to produce robust recommendations for inclusive design standards in the field of transport research.

## Notice

This is the second Phase of the kerb heights / layouts. This further research seeks to find possible solutions that would increase safety for vulnerable road users including cyclists. The aim is to recommend kerb heights applicable to as wide a range of users as possible. This Phase 4 will extend the study to testing of kerbs in laboratory conditions at Edinburgh Napier University. Testing in controlled conditions will allow more robust recommendations to be made regarding kerb properties for purposes of inclusive design. The study may lead to new standards development for Scotland, the UK, and beyond. Therefore, the study should be robust and rigorous enough to stand up to scrutiny and challenge.
