Technical requirements: The purpose of this PIN is to inform suppliers and developers of transport modelling tools/services that TfW intends to procure a suite of multi-modal transport models covering South West and Mid and North Wales. Model development for South East Wales has already been completed.
TfW intends for its suite of modelling tools to cover the whole of Wales and adjacent areas in England which have a material impact on transport in Wales. Consistency of approach and model output across Wales will be an important consideration.
— assessing the cumulative impacts of housing and employment development scenarios on the transport network, supporting plan-making at a variety of scales,
The full suite of modelling tools is likely to need to be capable of modelling the following types of transport scheme:
— South Wales Metro, Swansea Metro and North Wales Metro including options for LRT, BRT, Tram-train operation, new stations/stops, and park and ride/transport hubs,
— bus improvements, including bus priority, quality improvements, integrated ticketing and changes to fares,
— highway infrastructure changes, including new highway construction, major junction alterations, and road closures,
The model(s) would need to be consistent with WebTAG and allow strategies, plans and schemes to be assessed for their effectiveness in delivering/meeting Welsh Government and Transport for Wales objectives and obligations.
TfW intends to work with stakeholders to develop a broad specification and high level outcome requirements for the tool(s) and proposes to engage with the market ahead of any formal procurement activity.
The anticipated contract value of 2 000 000 GBP is for the full suite of multi-modal transport models covering South West and Mid and North Wales.
