## Summary

The procurement process for the "STARTwo Team Passenger Service" was conducted by The Department for Transport in the United Kingdom, focusing on transport systems consultancy services. This process, classified under the CPV code 71311200, has reached the award stage, with a total contract value of £123,000. The contract period commenced on 16 June 2020 and concluded on 6 January 2021. Although the tender period ended on 31 January 2020, the award notice for this contract was published on 12 April 2021.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in consultancy and support services related to the transport industry, particularly those with expertise in procurement, contract administration, and management. Companies specialising in rail franchising and the broader transport sector would be well-suited to compete in future tendering opportunities within this framework, especially as organisations look to bolster their contractual capabilities post-recruitment.

## Notice

Commercial expertise and support in particular in relation to procurement, contract administration and contract management with in-depth knowledge of the rail industry, especially franchising and the wider transport sector. Whilst we are in process of recruiting new permanent starters these are unlikely to be in place until February 2021. This small extension in value and time (from 20 January until 31 March 2021) will allow for a handover period and knowledge transfer.
