Buyer	National Highways — not a council we hold
Supplier	Ove Arup & Partners Limited

The Supplier will develop proof of concept model. The aim is to leave the Transport Planning Group (TPG) in a position where it is able to make the case internally for procurement and then (subject to internal governance and financial approvals) to procure the full development of a suitable policy model (the 'preferred option') in Financial Years 25/26 to 26/27. Three broad options have been shortlisted in the work to date, although these should not be considered an exhaustive list: - Elasticity model (probably with a simplified supply representation) - Meta-model (probably based on runs of existing strategic model(s)) - System dynamics model The proof of concept model will be a platform that is a blend between certain aspects of each of the Elasticity and Meta models.

Runs	13 Dec 2024 to 31 Mar 2025

Figures are as published An award value in OCDS may be a framework ceiling rather than a sum anyone expects to spend, so a large figure here is not evidence of a large purchase.
