## Summary

The procurement process titled "Legal Support to Ombudsman Project" was conducted by the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) based in London, England. The contract, classified under legal services, aimed to secure legal advice for the ORR's procurement team and drafting of contract terms. The tender was awarded following a selective procurement method, with the contract period starting on 29th April 2022 and concluding on 28th October 2023. The total value of the contract is £150,000, with a minimum value of £76,250. The procurement process was completed as of 26th April 2022.

This tender presents potential opportunities for law firms, particularly those with experience in public procurement and rail industry contracts. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to compete, given the nature of the services required from the successful supplier. As the ORR focuses on legal guidance necessary for its ombudsman project, firms with expertise in drafting legislative documents and advising on procurement processes will find this opportunity highly relevant for business growth.

## Notice

The ORR requires advice on: *procurement: providing support to the ORR's small procurement team throughout the procurement process; and *contract terms: drafting terms appropriate for a rail ombudsman contract. The ORR may require advice on proposed amendments to licences to effect the change to the rail ombudsman scheme and other ad hoc advice relevant to the ORR's ombudsman project.
