    Brief

    This procurement seeks to acquire a comprehensive freight dataset currently held by Jacobs for use across the RTM3 (Road Traffic Models 3) programme. The dataset will significantly enhance freight modelling capabilities and improve how freight travel time is represented and valued in transport models, addressing a key industry need identified by the Department for Transport. The Matrix Technical Coordination Group, representing National Highways and RTM3 supply chain members, has endorsed this procurement as a major advancement over existing industry-standard freight data. The acquired dataset will be deployed to strengthen analytical capabilities across all RTMs and provide improved freight-related inputs for model development, validation, and application. Suppliers should note that this dataset represents a step-change improvement in freight modelling quality and will benefit multiple organisations across the transport modelling industry.
