Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport (DfTc) has completed the procurement process for its project titled "THRE02-E01 Technical Advisors to support the Rail Contract Projects," classified under transport systems consultancy services (CPV code 71311200). The procurement method employed was selective, specifically utilising a call-off from a framework agreement. This contract, valued at £118,260.50, commenced on 15th September 2025 and will run until 30th June 2026. The initial procurement stage, inclusive of its tender period, concluded on 7th August 2025. While the project location spans British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom, the buyer organisation is headquartered in London, England.

This tender presents diverse opportunities for businesses specialising in transport systems consultancy services, particularly larger organisations that can handle extensive delivery addresses. Business growth can be achieved by showcasing expertise in the rail sector and leveraging the contract's duration for strategic planning. Though the procurement is not suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), companies like ST & R Partners, comprising Systra Limited, Tracsis, and Ricardo, exemplify the type of large-scale firms capable of successfully competing. Partnering with the Department for Transport could establish a lasting relationship for future rail infrastructure projects.
