Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport (DfTc) has completed the procurement process for the project titled "THRE02-A11 - Provision of Technical Advisors to Support Rail Operating Contract Projects." This tender falls under the services category, specifically transport systems consultancy services, with a selective procurement method using a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at GBP 39,950, will support rail contract projects and has a global scope—covering the United Kingdom, Europe, and other regions including British Overseas Territories and the Channel Islands. The award was published on 17th December 2025, following an active award status on 10th December 2025, with a contract period extending from 10th December 2025 to 31st March 2026.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for large consultancy firms specialising in transport systems and global advisory services. Although the contract was awarded to Jacobs U.K. Holding Limited, who serve as the supplier, similar tenders can provide business growth potential for firms with the necessary expertise and capacity. Businesses that focus on consultancy services, particularly those with experience in rail operations, and who are equipped to deliver extensive advisory throughout different regions, stand well-suited to compete in this strategic sector where DfTc is a key buying organisation.
