WCC - Traffic/Transport Modelling Framework

This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.

The procurement contact named on the official notice.

The Authority (WCC) has been using Paramics modelling software (both S-Paramics and Paramics Discovery - hereinafter collectively referred to as 'Paramics') since 2001 to assess highway schemes, identify the likely impacts of development and to inform strategic transport assessments of Local Plan proposals for each of Warwickshire's five Districts and Boroughs: • Warwick District; • Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough; • Rugby Borough; • North Warwickshire Borough; and • Stratford District.

WCC has a diverse suite of models covering each District and Borough in the County, ranging from simple corridor models to more complex wide-area models which are used to test the impacts of Local Plan allocations proposed by the District and Borough Councils.

Increasing demands on the Authority's modelling team, due to the pressures of maximising the potential of all funding opportunities through business case development for the Strategic Economic Plan/Local Growth Deal and other funding sources and the demands for support through the Local Plan process means less officer time can be spent on this task, a task which is essential to ensure the viability of the Model Revenue Fund (MRF) business model.

Specialist external modelling support is therefore required to continue the development and maintenance of WCC models and to provide robust scheme and development assessments over the next 1-4 year period.
