## Summary

The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) recently completed a public procurement contract titled "Evidence of revenue generation and abstraction from historical open-access entry and expansion." This project falls under the Research and Development Services category and was based in London, United Kingdom. The tender, initiated under a standard procurement process, aimed to analyse the revenue generated by open-access operators and its impact on franchise train operating companies. The contract, valued at £99,995, commenced on 18th May 2015 and concluded on 29th October 2015. Key dates included the tender period ending on 28th April 2015 and the award date of 3rd June 2015.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in research and consultancy services. Companies that can provide insights into the rail industry and demonstrate experience in evaluating financial impacts of access operations would be well-positioned to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the research sector may find this a suitable avenue for growth, facilitating partnerships with larger firms, as evidenced by the successful bid from LeighFisher Ltd for this contract.

## Notice

This project will provide ORR with information about the effects of historical open-access entry and expansion, in terms of the revenue 'generated' by open-access operators (OAOs) and the revenue 'abstracted' from franchise train operating companies (TOCs), with a view to providing evidence that can inform future access applications.
