RM5728 SO10033 - Strengthening the links between Appraisal and Evaluation

Tender description

The Department for Transport (DfT) invites proposals to undertake research with a small number of (three) case study schemes (reflecting representative types of rail, road and local transport schemes) in order to learn about the interactions between the predictions made in the business case (especially within the strategic and economic cases) and the out-turn assessment of impacts generated by ex-post scheme evaluation. The purpose of this study is to generate evidence about how the interactions between the development of a transport scheme business case (including ex-ante appraisal) and its post implementation evaluation can be enhanced, identifying practical steps which can be taken to build the connections between the two.
