This project, classified under architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services, is set in the United Kingdom and aims to enhance accountability within rail infrastructure management across England, Wales, and Scotland. The procurement method employed is an open procedure under the tender stage, with the tender period ending on 11th August 2017. The total estimated value of the contract is £150,000, with a minimum value of £80,000. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 30th September 2017 and will run until 30th September 2019. This opportunity creates significant potential for businesses involved in project management and supply services for personnel, particularly those with expertise in cost efficiency reviews and regulatory frameworks within the rail industry. Companies that specialise in architectural, engineering, and inspection services or those providing skilled contingent labour would find this tender aligns well with their capabilities. Engaging in this procurement process not only supports the ORR's mission but also positions businesses to expand their involvement in major rail enhancement projects, fostering growth and collaboration in this critical sector. ## Notice The ORR's Planning & Enhancements team leads on holding rail infrastructure managers to account for delivering their licence obligations in relation to enhancement projects. We perform this role for rail enhancement projects across England, Wales and Scotland, working with infrastructure managers including Network Rail. As part of our statutory obligations we perform cost efficiency reviews of rail enhancement projects for a number of reasons, including but not limited to: * Determining cost efficiency on projects within the current 5 year control period (CP5, from April 2014 to March 2019) as part of 'lessons learned' reviews or license breach investigations; * Reviewing cost efficiency for projects proposed for the next control period (CP6); * Determining efficient cost baselines for government funded projects in Scotland, using the Enhancement Cost Adjustment Mechanism (ECAM - as described on our website at: http://www.orr.gov.uk/rail/economic-regulation/regulation-of-network-rail/price-controls/periodic-review-2013/cp5-delivery-plan ); * Resolving disputes, relating to efficient costs, between infrastructure managers and their funders; and * Other ad-hoc efficiency reviews as part of our ongoing monitoring. As well as these detailed reviews of individual projects, we may also seek to review infrastructure managers' capability to deliver enhancements at the portfolio level, in line with our regulatory framework.
