    Brief

    The Department for Transport (DfT) is seeking evaluation research support services through a two-lot framework. This opportunity (Lot 2) focuses on retrospective evaluation, requiring suppliers to conduct evidence reviews and quantitative assessments of transport policies and interventions implemented over the past 20 years. The work aims to gather evidence on medium- and long-term impacts of these policies. Successful suppliers should provide multidisciplinary teams with expertise in evaluation methodology, economics, transport modeling, and analytical research. This lot complements Lot 1 (current program evaluation support) and involves conducting comprehensive analysis to inform future transport policy decisions.
