Description

The Authority requires a Supplier to develop transport connectivity metrics to allow identification of current pressures on the transport network. The metrics must be constructed at three different spatial levels and should be able to recognise constraints based on the transport network itself. The Supplier is expected to provide a report detailing a descriptive analysis of the
connectivity indicators produced, how they were calculated and their theoretical justification. This should also include a summary of any assumptions and limitations of the analysis undertaken.
The Supplier is also to provide analysis of current, (and if possible historic) connectivity within Great Britain's cities and between cities and other locations. This
should be a summary of key findings and data, produced in a spreadsheet format.

Please note that, to register, you must have a valid DUNS number (as provided by Dun and Bradstreet) for the organisation which you are registering, who will be entering into a contract if invited to do so at the Invitation to Tender stage. Potential Providers should note that it could take up to 10 working days to obtain a DUNS number.

Crown Commercial Service will then process your registration and assign your organisation to the opportunity. The registered user will receive a notification email to alert them once this has been done.
