This procurement process, which falls under the industry category of research and development services, is based in London, UK. The tender period is set to conclude on 23 November 2020, with a total contract value of £100,000. The contract period is scheduled to run from 18 December 2020 to 31 August 2021. The procurement method being utilised is an open procedure, which allows for broader participation. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth in the consultancy sector, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in economic and financial analysis within the railway industry. Firms specialising in performance regimes and access charges would find themselves especially well-suited to compete for this contract. The contracting authority may award separate contracts for the two distinct workstreams, offering further avenues for diverse consultancy practices to engage in this vital project. ## Notice We require consultancy support in respect of two specific workstreams: (i) the performance and possessions regimes; and (ii) access charges. These two workstreams are being led by ORR's Economics, Markets & Strategy directorate, which is the organisation's centre of expertise for economic and financial analysis of the railways. The work also has input from ORR's Railway Planning and Performance directorate, which monitors and holds Network Rail to account for its performance. The ORR may place a separate contract for each workstream or a single contract for both. See attached ITT for full description. Additional information: This procurement is being conducted through the ORR Procurement tool (Bravo). All correspondence, including any clarification questions, must be sent through Bravo.
