Following a procurement process (award notice can be found here www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/451789a1-af93… ↗) AECOM has provided a single platform capable of assessing changes in travel demand in response to changes in highway infrastructure, public transport provision, population and employment or retail facilities across the County of Northamptonshire. North Northamptonshire Council is now entering into it's own contract with AECOM, in order to utilise this model which had previously been created. AECOM is the only provider able to operate the bespoke model they created, and re-procurement would be nonviable, costly, and technically unsuitable.
