Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process was managed by Buckinghamshire Council for the "Aylesbury Rail Link Economic Study" project. The council, located in Aylesbury, sought services in the transport systems consultancy sector with a contract to be executed by SLC Rail Ltd, a large company based in Birmingham. The procurement falls under the services category and was conducted using a direct method below the threshold, meaning it was completed without competition. This stage of the procurement process has been marked as "complete," with key milestone dates indicating the contract is set to start on 23rd June 2026 and conclude on 31st March 2027.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in transport systems consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in economic studies related to rail infrastructure. Although the procurement method was direct and without competition, businesses in this industry should monitor such opportunities as they align with strategic business growth plans aimed at engaging with sub-central government public authorities. Companies capable of delivering comprehensive economic studies that contribute to significant infrastructure projects would benefit greatly from similar contracts, strengthening their portfolio and positioning for future tenders.
