We have recently begun scoping out initial thinking for our approach and objectives for the strategy. Undertake a review of international best practice drawing on international network of new/future mobility experts across Europe, the US and Asia-Pacific, to understand the impact of different polices and interventions, ensuring relevance to the UK context. The international review of best practice will identify case studies of international best practice of relevance to the UK's rural communities. The analysis and insights drawn from the research will provide a strong evidence base for the Department to use in developing the Future of Mobility: Rural Strategy. We expect the review of international best practice to review locations across the UK, Europe, the US and Asia-Pacific. ## CPV classification Research and development services and related consultancy services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/7a4eba1b-3074-41b9-970d-ce4036df96b9) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
