Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport procured a Project Representative for the High Speed 2 project, specifically a value extension to an existing requirement. This is a professional transport systems consultancy service, covering project representation rather than construction or the direct supply of transport equipment. The work is associated with High Speed 2 and may be delivered across the United Kingdom and the listed wider territories and jurisdictions, including Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buying organisation is the Department for Transport, based at Great Minster House in London. The requirement is classified as transport systems consultancy services and falls within the services category.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 25 October 2022 to KPMG UK LLP. It used a selective procedure and was made as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open standalone competition. The tender deadline was 17 May 2022 at 12:00. The tender estimated value was £19,200,000, while the awarded value was £28,000,000. The awarded contract runs from 1 November 2022 to 31 October 2027. The award is active. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The recorded procurement category is services, with the requirement described as a High Speed 2 Project Representative value extension.

This award demonstrates sustained Department for Transport demand for senior project representation and transport systems consultancy supporting a major rail infrastructure programme. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in representing a public-sector client on a complex, high-value transport project, with the professional judgement to monitor, challenge and report on delivery issues. The scale and strategic importance of High Speed 2 indicate a need for an established consultancy able to deploy suitably experienced specialists and maintain consistent service across a substantial programme. The route to market is a framework call-off, so relevant suppliers should understand framework-based competitions and hold, or partner through, an appropriate framework position. The buyer’s assessment indicates that smaller and voluntary-sector organisations are not considered suitable for this requirement.
