The Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) has concluded a tendering process for the CP7 Year 3 Recalibration of the Network Rail Passenger Schedule 8 Regime - Independent Audit project. This tender was classified under the business development consultancy services industry category and was an open procedure below the threshold. The tender process started with the publication on 5th December 2024 and had a tender period ending on 3rd February 2025. The contract period is set from 17th February 2025 to 31st December 2025 with an awarded contract value of £55,925 GBP to SYSTRA Ltd., based in London.
