Description

Lot Division
| 1 | Multi-Disciplinary Transport Planning Services Under this lot we will commission multi-disciplinary projects spanning aspects such as: modelling, scheme design, options appraisal, prioritisation etc. There is some cross-over with other lots on the framework, but only where a multi-disciplinary project requires a single team to undertake all tasks. For example, for a scheme business case any required transport modelling will be commissioned under this lot if it sits in a multi-disciplinary project; but stand-alone modelling requirements will be commissioned under other lots.
