TRAS3084: Analytical system design for a Freight Analysis and Modelling Environment (FAME)
Jaggaer PQQ Reference: pqq_308

****Summary****

The Department for Transport ('DfT') wishes to set up a contract to seek a feasible and detailed analytical system design for Freight Analysis and Modelling Environment (FAME), a new cross-modal freight analysis environment, in order to enhance the Department's analytical capability to support investment decisions, policy development, emergency responses and strategic directions.

This study (Stage 1 of the FAME) should deliver the following three key deliverables:

a. a literature review and a systematic understanding of freight and logistics;
b. a feasible framework for the FAME with suitable analytical levers for scenario-based analysis; and,
c. a detailed and feasible technical blueprint of viable analytical solutions supporting the DfT's freight analyses, such as those on end-to-end freight journeys and multimodal forecasting, including the methodologies for a national freight transport model and non-modelling tools, and data requirements.
