Summary of the contracting process

The Office of Rail and Road has completed a procurement process for the title "Additional Work for Assessment of ElecLink Project," which falls under the industry category of research consultancy services. This process, which involved a direct procurement method via a single tender action below threshold, was initiated to seek independent advice from an external engineering specialist regarding the adequacy of the Eurotunnel safety dossier for the installation of an HVDC cable within the Channel Tunnel. The contract value is £17,400, with the contract period running from October 1, 2020, to January 31, 2021. Key dates include a tender period that ended on September 30, 2020, with the award being published on October 23, 2020.

This awarded contract presents an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in consultancy services, particularly in engineering and safety assessment, to engage with the Office of Rail and Road. Businesses that possess expertise in project assessments and have a track record of working with public transport infrastructure projects would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar tenders in the future. Such opportunities not only enable firms to diversify their service offerings but also to establish long-term relationships with government agencies, potentially leading to more projects and revenue streams.
