## Summary

The procurement process for the project titled "Rail Emissions Research" was conducted by the Department for Transport, focusing on research services within the UK rail industry. This tender aimed to address the importance of accurate data on train performance as part of the wider initiative to decarbonise the economy. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and the tender period concluded on 14th February 2019, with the contract running from 15th February to 30th June 2019. The total contract value was £300,000.

This opportunity for businesses is particularly advantageous for those engaged in research and data analytics related to the transport sector, as well as organisations with expertise in environmental impact assessments. Companies with a track record in providing research services to government entities or those focusing on sustainable transport solutions would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. The focus on rail emissions presents a vibrant avenue for growth as the UK seeks to enhance air quality and reduce carbon emissions in a critical sector.

## Notice

There is currently great attention on decarbonising the economy of UK, and on improving air quality. Rail is a rather small contributor, but also a sector where change takes long and needs to be carefully planned, and that's where handling the most accurate data on trains performance is crucial.
