How can we best develop the uncertainty tools and products referenced in the Uncertainty Toolkit? These will primarily be publication of the common analytical scenarios in TEMPro, the revision of TAG Unit M4 and improving future proofing decision making processes and their guidance across the department.

Background

The grow and level up the economy strategic priority is at the heart of the government’s agenda to spread opportunity across the UK. Transport has a crucial role to play, whether it be through improving connectivity across the United Kingdom and growing the economy by enhancing the transport network, on time and on budget. DfT has a number of specific interests in this space, notably our infrastructure projects, Places for Growth and our apprenticeships and skills work.
