The use of Travel Demand Management (TDM) could help reducing the impact of the proposed roadworks on customers. Highways England is looking to procure consultancy services under the SPaTS Framework to undertake a preliminary study into the feasibility of using TDM strategies and measures, identify suitable TDM options and produce an outline strategy for implementation of the selected options.

A national centre of excellence (CoE) team is being established which will lead on innovation and lessons learnt with other regions within Highways England, externally with local authorities and the wider industry. The task will need to work with the CoE team to ensure
