About this contract

****Call for Competition**** TRAS3084: Analytical system design for a Freight Analysis and Modelling Environment (FAME) Jaggaer PQQ Reference: pqq_308 ****Summary**** The Department for Transport ('DfT') wishes to set up a contract to seek a feasible and detailed analytical system design for Freight Analysis and Modelling Environment (FAME), a new cross-modal freight analysis environment, in order to enhance the Department's analytical capability to support investment decisions, policy development, emergency responses and strategic directions.
