Classified under the transport systems consultancy services industry category, this procurement aimed to provide technical advisor support focusing on rolling stock and whole system strategy for public ownership. The selective procurement method was utilised, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. While the tender process is already complete, the contract period runs from 21st July 2025 to 31st October 2025, covering diverse locations including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom. The total contract value was set at £50,165 GBP.

This tender creates opportunities for businesses that specialise in transport consultancy services, particularly those with the capability to provide strategic and technical advisory for rail systems. Although Jacobs U.K. Holding Limited, a company categorised as an SME, has been awarded the contract, similar businesses can leverage the insights and frameworks established by such procurements to refine their offerings and strategies, potentially positioning themselves for future tender opportunities.
