## Summary

The procurement process titled "THRE0072 International Rail Advisor" was conducted by the Department for Transport (DfTc). The industry category for this tender was Interpretation Services, with a procurement method described as a call-off from a framework agreement, focusing on selective procurement. The tender was part of a completed contracting process, having reached the award stage with an active status. The locations involved include the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. Key dates include the tender closure on 30th October 2025 and the contract period beginning on 19th November 2025, ending on 18th November 2027, with the contract valued at £12,000. The DfTc, located in London, is the buying organisation, and the award was granted to OVE ARUP & PARTNERS LIMITED.

This tender presents growth opportunities, particularly for businesses offering interpretation services across geographical locations as varied as the United Kingdom and international markets, including the British Overseas Territories and Europe. With a contract duration of two years, businesses can secure stable and predictable income, contributing to their growth. The selective procurement method implies that only qualified businesses from within the framework agreement could participate, which may be beneficial for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are capable of servicing large-scale and international projects but might lack the resources or qualifications to engage in open tenders. The focus on established frameworks also means that businesses already on such a framework are well positioned to compete effectively for this opportunity.
