This project is classified under consultative engineering and construction services and business and management consultancy services. Located in the United Kingdom, the contract required a consultant to assess technical files for the Energy NTSN authorisation against the Railways (Interoperability) Regulations 2011 and to review risk management using the CSM-RA process. The open procedure procurement attracted SMEs and VCSEs and was managed via the ORR Procurement portal. The contract period spans from 19 July 2024 to 19 July 2025, with a total value of £75,000 GBP. The award has been granted to WSP UK Limited, a large-scale supplier based in London.
