Description
The Department for Transport (DfT) is seeking to contract a provision for a Transport Appraisal and Modelling panel.
In our Appraisal and Modelling Strategy, published in 2019, we committed to set up an expert panel specialising in Supplementary Economic Modelling (SEM) to help assure model outputs and their use in business cases, as well as to quality assure parts of models during, and after, the model development process.
The panel will enable the DfT to access detailed advice and scrutiny from Expert Panel Members in:
- Transport economics and appraisal
- Transport modelling
- Related disciplines, such as geographic data science, machine learning or AI, econometrics, or operational research.
Applications are invited from both individuals able to act as expert panel members and companies putting forward nominated individuals who will act as expert panel members.
All Panel members must, at minimum, demonstrate:
· Relevant academic or industry expertise in transport modelling and appraisal, evidenced by high quality examples of projects and/or academic papers where this has been applied.
· Excellent communication skills and a demonstrable ability to articulate highly technical issues in an accessible manner
· Familiarity with transport policy, including in a UK context

This will be procured as a Framework Agreement lasting 3 years at a maximum value of £300,000 excluding VAT.

· The DfT commits to no minimum spend on the panel;
· There is no commitment to exclusive use of the panel when procuring advice relating to SEM.
