## Description

This project requires access to original data gathered as part of the Highways Agency 2011 Asset Management project and detailed knowledge of the analytical methodology used in that project\. Mark Wardman, who led the original project team, is now Director of Economics at Systra and on Pell Frischmann's supply chain\. We spoke to Mark Wardman, who has confirmed access to the original survey data and survey design\. Mark also served as expert advisor on the Highways England 2017 Surface Quality Stated Preference Pilot Study, which means he will be able to reflect the lessons learnt from that project in this new work\. The combination of personal expertise and data access mean that there is unlikely to be an alternative supplier able to meet the requirements of this project in a cost-effective way\.
