## Summary

The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) has completed the procurement process for the "Energy NTSN authorisation support" contract. This project is classified under consultative engineering and construction services and business and management consultancy services. Located in the United Kingdom, the contract required a consultant to assess technical files for the Energy NTSN authorisation against the Railways (Interoperability) Regulations 2011 and to review risk management using the CSM-RA process. The open procedure procurement attracted SMEs and VCSEs and was managed via the ORR Procurement portal. The contract period spans from 19 July 2024 to 19 July 2025, with a total value of £75,000 GBP. The award has been granted to WSP UK Limited, a large-scale supplier based in London.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in engineering consultancy, particularly those familiar with regulatory compliance in the railway sector. Companies with expertise in Energy NTSN authorisations and risk management processes stand to benefit from engaging in such specialised projects. SMEs and VCSEs are encouraged to participate in future tenders, leveraging their niche skills and experience to compete effectively in the consultancy services market. Establishing a relationship with the ORR could also pave the way for more collaboration on similar projects within the regulatory framework of the railway industry in Great Britain.

## Notice

The purpose of this work is to assess the technical files submitted for authorisation of subsystems complying with the Energy NTSN (National Technical Specification Notices) against the requirements of the Railways (Interoperability) Regulations 2011, and to review the risk management as documented through the CSM-RA process. The consultant will advise ORR whether the application meets the requirements for authorisation, and whether CSM-RA documentation confirms that hazards have been identified and managed. This will require the consultant to have extensive experience with Energy NTSN authorisations and the use of CSM-RA in Great Britain. Additional information: The tender exercise is being managed via the ORR Procurement portal (BRAVO). All tender clarification questions must be raised via the portal.
