Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport (DfTc) has concluded an award in the procurement process titled "THRE02-A12 - Provision of Technical Advisors to Support Rail Operating Contract Projects". This process falls under the industry category of transport systems consultancy services, with services to be delivered across the United Kingdom, British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and the Rest of the World. The procurement utilised a selective method, involving a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender stage has reached completion with an award made as of 27th March 2026. Contracts will commence on 1st April 2026 and conclude on 10th December 2026. The total contract value is £59,725 GBP. Jacobs U.K Limited has been identified as the key supplier for this project.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in transport consultancy services, particularly those capable of providing technical advisory support for rail operations. However, given the scale of the procurement, it appears to be more suited to larger enterprises rather than SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) or VCSE (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises). Participation in such a tender allows businesses to enhance their portfolio in the public sector, especially within the rail industry, and potentially leverage the framework agreement for future opportunities within the DfTc's projects. Engaging in this project can help establish or reinforce working relationships with a major governmental department and broaden geographical reach and influence in transport consultancy services.
