## Summary

The Department for Transport is seeking to enhance its existing contracts through the award of the Cross Country Franchise Competition Advisor contract. This procurement, classified under the CPV code for research and development services, is based in London, United Kingdom. The contract, with a total value of £2,006,738, was awarded on 13 July 2017 and has been published for transparency. The procurement method used was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, which serves to streamline the process for suppliers invited to tender. This contract will run from 17 July 2017 to 31 July 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for larger consultancy firms that specialise in research and development services. Given the nature of the work, companies with expertise in advising on franchise operations within the transport sector would be particularly well-suited to pursue future contracts or engagement through similar framework arrangements. As the contract has already been awarded yet still offers insights into the procurement processes within the Department for Transport, firms can identify potential gaps or future needs that may arise following the completion of this contract.
