The NFM will replace existing freight modelling approaches and provide a modern analytical framework capable of representing freight movements across road, rail and domestic maritime modes.\nThe contract will include the design, development, calibration, validation and implementation of a multimodal freight model capable of estimating current and future freight demand and flows by commodity, vehicle type and transport mode. The model must support the analysis of domestic freight movements and international freight movements to and from the United Kingdom, including maritime and rail freight services.\nThe NFM will be required to assess the impacts of changes to infrastructure, land use, economic conditions, logistics behaviours and government policy interventions. It will also enable the testing of alternative scenarios and sensitivities to support transport planning, network resilience analysis, decarbonisation initiatives, freight mode shift assessments and wider strategic policy development.\nThe successful supplier will be expected to develop and document the model, provide supporting methodologies, undertake any necessary data collection or acquisition activities, deliver stakeholder engagement and training, and ensure that the Department can operate, maintain and further develop the model independently following completion of the contract.\nThe procurement may include associated research, data acquisition, innovative analytical approaches and the development of new methodologies necessary to deliver the required modelling capabilities and outcomes.\nHOW TO ACCESS THE ITT: \n• Interest bidders will need to register to DfTs e-procurement platform (Jaggaer), using the below link:\nhttps://dft.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.html \n• Once registered - bidders can access the ITT via the below link:\n•https://dft.app.jaggaer.com/go/6836254501A080BE9F9F", "status": "active", "items": [ { "id": "1", "additionalClassifications": [ { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "73110000", "description": "Research services" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "71311200", "description": "Transport systems consultancy services" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "73210000", "description": "Research consultancy services" } ], "deliveryAddresses": [ { "region": "UK", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom" } ], "relatedLot": "1" } ], "value": { "amountGross": 2340000, "amount": 1950000, "currency": "GBP" }, "procurementMethod": "open", "procurementMethodDetails": "Open procedure", "mainProcurementCategory": "services", "aboveThreshold": true, "techniques": { "hasElectronicAuction": true }, "submissionMethodDetails": "Interest bidders will need to register to DfTs e-procurement platform (Jaggaer), using the below link:\nhttps://dft.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.html \nOnce registered - bidders can access the ITT via the below link:\nhttps://dft.app.jaggaer.com/go/6836254501A080BE9F9F", "submissionTerms": { "electronicSubmissionPolicy": "allowed", "languages": [ "en" ] }, "tenderPeriod": { "endDate": "2026-10-09T17:00:00+01:00" }, "enquiryPeriod": { "endDate": "2026-09-21T17:00:00+01:00" }, "awardPeriod": { "endDate": "2026-10-20T23:59:59+01:00" }, "lots": [ { "id": "1", "status": "active", "value": { "amountGross": 2340000, "amount": 1950000, "currency": "GBP" }, "awardCriteria": { "criteria": [ { "type": "quality", "name": "Technical/Quality", "description": "There are five scored Quality questions within the Quality Envelope, which carries a total weighting of 70% of the overall tender evaluation. \nIn addition, the Social Value Envelope carries a weighting of 10% of the overall tender evaluation.\nThe summaries below are provided for information purposes only and are intended to give an overview of the areas that will be assessed.

Ahead of this, we are looking to host a workshop where potential suppliers, or interested parties, are given an opportunity to share their thoughts on the Department's proposals for FAME.

The NFM will replace existing freight modelling approaches and provide a modern analytical framework capable of representing freight movements across road, rail and domestic maritime modes.\nThe contract will include the design, development, calibration, validation and implementation of a multimodal freight model capable of estimating current and future freight demand and flows by commodity, vehicle type and transport mode. The model must support the analysis of domestic freight movements and international freight movements to and from the United Kingdom, including maritime and rail freight services.\nThe NFM will be required to assess the impacts of changes to infrastructure, land use, economic conditions, logistics behaviours and government policy interventions. It will also enable the testing of alternative scenarios and sensitivities to support transport planning, network resilience analysis, decarbonisation initiatives, freight mode shift assessments and wider strategic policy development.\nThe successful supplier will be expected to develop and document the model, provide supporting methodologies, undertake any necessary data collection or acquisition activities, deliver stakeholder engagement and training, and ensure that the Department can operate, maintain and further develop the model independently following completion of the contract.\nThe procurement may include associated research, data acquisition, innovative analytical approaches and the development of new methodologies necessary to deliver the required modelling capabilities and outcomes.\nHOW TO ACCESS THE ITT: \n• Interest bidders will need to register to DfTs e-procurement platform (Jaggaer), using the below
