## Summary

Wycombe District Council has recently completed a procurement process for the strategic outline business case for the return of heavy rail between High Wycombe and Bourne End. This project aims to connect the Chiltern Line and Crossrail, with a total contract value of £51,587. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, and the tender period ended on 10 November 2017. The contract period spanned from 11 November 2017 to 23 April 2018 in the South East region of the United Kingdom, specifically at the High Wycombe locality. The industry category for this tender falls under business analysis consultancy services.

This tender presents potential growth opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in consultancy services, particularly those experienced in transportation and infrastructure assessments. The involvement of a well-known supplier, Atkins Ltd, highlights the competitive nature of this sector, indicating that firms with expertise in similar projects and a focus on strategic business analysis would be well-positioned to compete in such tenders. This project could lead to further business avenues as enhancements in heavy rail services are likely to stimulate additional related contracts and investment in the region.
