Description

The Department for Transport (DfT) produces Transport Analysis Guidance (TAG) that consists of software tools and guidance on transport modelling and appraisal methods. This guidance enables analysts to undertake evidence-based appraisal and development of transport interventions, which support business cases and inform investment funding decisions.

The Department for Transport (DfT) is seeking proposals from the market to:

1) Review the current high-level guidance in TAG and propose potential changes to stream-line this part of the guidance, so that the high-level advice is easy and simple to read, as well as useful to readers.

2) Write a draft short guidance unit outlining the purpose and principles of modelling and appraisal, which covers not just the importance and usefulness of transport models for appraisal but also for vision-led strategic planning and policy testing. It also needs to cover the key principles of appraisal and the importance to consider all impacts with appropriate evidence.

The full tender pack is accessible through DfT's e- Sourcing Portal (Jaggaer):
