Description
The Department for Transport intends to enter into a contract for the development of a new, in-house, cross-modal National Freight Model (NFM). The NFM will provide a transparent and flexible analytical capability for estimating current and future freight demand and movements across Great Britain, supporting policy development, forecasting and scenario testing. The contract will include model development, data processing and research, technical documentation, training and knowledge transfer. The model will be developed primarily in Python and designed to enable the Department to operate, maintain and further develop it independently. Core development is expected to be completed by 31 March 2028, with provision for potential extensions relating to additional freight data and model functionality.
