UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Transport for the North, a sub-central government public authority based in Manchester, has completed a procurement process titled "Rail Task Force Boards Consultancy Support." This procurement, under the limited competition method, aimed to secure consultancy services for establishing Task Force Boards across northern England. These boards focus on consolidating decisions regarding train services and infrastructure investments regionally. The contract was awarded on 17th October 2025, and it is scheduled to run until 31st March 2026, with an option for a 12-month renewal. The consultancy support falls within the industry category of transport systems consultancy services and technical analysis services. The awarded contract, valued at £60,000, is within the below-threshold procurement category.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services related to transport systems and technical analysis to engage in major infrastructure planning within Northern England. Companies experienced in providing strategic guidance to public authorities, especially those with a regional investment focus, stand to benefit. Large consultancy firms with the capacity to chair and technically support high-profile task force initiatives are ideally positioned to compete for such procurement opportunities, given the complex nature of consolidating transport decisions within a regional focus.
