## Summary

The Department for Transport (DfT) has concluded the procurement process titled "RRSG0009 - Strategic Support for Rail Reform," focusing on systems and technical consultancy services. This contract, aimed at supporting strategic decisions related to Rail Reform and the establishment of Great British Railways, has been awarded to KPMG. With a contract value of £4,000,000, the procurement was carried out through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2027, with the consultancy services aimed at various locations including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom, among others. This procurement falls under the industry category of technical consultancy services.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in strategic and technical consultancy, particularly those with expertise in large-scale infrastructure reforms. While KPMG has been chosen as the service provider, the project's scope suggests ongoing opportunities for subcontractors and small to medium enterprises (SMEs) to engage with different aspects of the Rail Reform initiative. The project is suitable for SMEs and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), highlighting the potential for diverse business inclusion and growth within the strategic consultancy and rail infrastructure sectors.

Additionally, this will help inform the medium and long-term delivery plan, in order to enable the realisation of planned merger and portfolio benefits (synergies) across Rail Reform.
