Evaluation of Freight Transport Shift to Rail and Waterways

This tender, published in Germany, seeks an evaluation of initiatives designed to shift freight transport from roads to rail and inland waterways. The core work will likely involve analyzing the effectiveness of existing programs promoting combined and multimodal transport chains. This will probably entail data collection on freight flows, cost analysis of different transport modes, and assessment of the impact of relevant policies and infrastructure. The successful bidder will need to demonstrate expertise in transportation economics, logistics, and public policy analysis, specifically related to the German freight transport sector. The project's location in Berlin suggests a national-level scope, potentially requiring data from various regions and engagement with multiple stakeholders, including government agencies, transport operators, and industry associations. The absence of CPV codes and a published contract value makes it difficult to precisely assess the project's complexity, but the evaluation aspect points toward a research-oriented contract.
