The service will provide access to specialist expertise across road safety, transport planning, economics, academia, and data analytics, enabling a more integrated and collaborative approach to delivery across the Division. Critically, it will strengthen our ability to identify and assess safety risks, evaluate the effectiveness of safety interventions, and ensure that investment decisions are underpinned by robust evidence that improves outcomes for users of the Strategic Road Network. The partnership will also support compliance with Department for Transport, HM Treasury and ORR requirements, strengthen future funding cases, and ensure National Highways can continue to deliver safe, effective and efficient investment programmes that align with government priorities and long-term strategic objectives. ## CPV classification Development consultancy services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice ](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/225a38d8-4115-4963-b118-c1eb1bee1f55) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
