T0033 Scoping for the Analytical Capability Programme

Tender description

Highways England wishes to engage with suppliers on the SPaTS2 Lot1 framework to support the Chief Analysts Division (CAD) in scoping the Analytical Capability programme through each of its three workstreams. The initial three-month scoping phase must: 1. Scope out a sustainable programme for improving analytical capability: Shaping CAD's vision for analysis as a service; setting the priorities for promoting consistent statistics and better communicating analysis; and recommending what short, medium, and long-term actions should be implemented. The priority is to scope the programme for analytical capability in CAD but this needs to be cognisant of analysis across Highways England. 2. Provide a series of 'quick wins': Providing expert advice, showcasing best practice guidance and working interactively with analysts to apply these principles within their work areas. Piloting and providing examples of guidance documents, toolkits, and templates to demonstrate improvements in analytical capability. It is intended that this initial scoping phase will provide the basis for a continued programme of work in developing and delivering improvements in analytical capability.
