Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport (DfTc) has recently completed the procurement process titled "THRE02-C08 - Provision of Technical Advisors to support Rail Operating Contract Projects." This award, dated 23rd March 2026, focuses on consultancy services for transport systems under the CPV classification 71311200. The process was initiated using a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. All services are to be delivered across various regions, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The awarded contract to Steer Davies & Gleave Ltd, a large-scale firm, has a value of £83,700 GBP and will be executed from 23rd March to 31st July 2026.

This contract provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport consultancy services, particularly those with substantial expertise in supporting rail infrastructure projects. While the contract itself was awarded to a large firm, companies with similar profiles may find future opportunities collaborating with the Department for Transport on rail operating contracts. The process was initiated through a call-off from a framework agreement, making it essential for businesses to explore and leverage framework agreements for potential entry and participation in upcoming government tenders. Companies positioned in the industry, especially those familiar with the geographic areas mentioned, may benefit from networking and establishing relationships with the public sector to identify collaborative opportunities for growth.
