The DfT requires an analytical platform that is robust, scalable, distributed, combining methods across analytical disciplines to produce analysis for national transport policies. This requires an end-to-end solution from transport modelling through appraisal analysis to visualisation of results. The scale and expectations of the use of analysis in policy making has increased significantly and we are looking for a system to help us meet that analytical need. While remaining with the same staffing levels. Stage 1 - Capability Assessment following the shortlisting of suppliers by TASM to identify suppliers that can meet their requirements. Suppliers must be able to answer yes to all the capability assessment questions to become shortlisted for stage 2. A collaborative approach should be demonstrated which allows for requirements to be altered based on needs and risks which we expect to evolve through the discovery, proof of concept and pilot stages. This allows for joint problem solving with prospective suppliers encouraging the latest industry best practices including use of technology. Stage 2 - Suppliers who meet all the criteria will be invited to a supplier day to present their capability. Stage 3 -If you meet the customer's criteria for being invited, your presentation will be evaluated against the published capability assessment criteria and the successful bidder(s) will be notified. If the Department is satisfied your tool meets our requirements you will be invited to tender for the opportunity. All responses to Stage 1 should be submitted no later than 16:00 on the 1st April 2025. All responses shall be sent directly via email to jason.thrupp@dft.gov.uk Should you have any queries regarding the Capability Assessment please send directly via email to jason.thrupp@dft.gov.uk aligning to the procurement timetable below.
