The tender, which was published on 18th January 2019, was conducted via an open procurement method beneath the threshold, and the total contract value was £15,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on consultancy services, particularly in transport systems, business analysis, and financial management.

The ADST is a Whole Life Cost (WLC) model developed for HS1 to support their CP3 submissions. The ADST allows different assets, activities and decisions to be tried, tested and compared. The ADST supports decisions about how HS1 operates, maintains, renews and enhances the route infrastructure assets. This is achieved by creating options for alternative maintenance/renewal scenarios and comparing the long-term cumulative WLC. We require the successful consultant to review a number of the inputs / assumptions used within the ADST. The scope will include an analysis of the ADST to: * Validation of renewals cost data * Validation of maintenance cost data * Validation of fault cost date * Validation of any supporting cost data * Validation of assumptions used within the model on: * Treatment of estimated asset obsolescence * Caution/optimism of renewal timings +/- % * Synergies of delivery The scope of work is not be expected to include: * Detailed assessment of the accuracy and coverage of supporting data used by NR(HS)/HS1 to determine interventions required. * Any review of the effectiveness of existing maintenance practices * Any review of the resources required to deliver the anticipated maintenance & renewal requirements or the organisation necessary to support those activities. * Any specific benchmarking activities to assist in establishing what would be considered best practice for each asset area/general asset management approach. Additional information: This procurement is being conducted through the ORR Procurement tool (Bravo). All correspondence, including any clarification questions, mus be sent through Bravo. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/954939b5-d243-4665-9b5c-195643a5472b | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Sep 2019 | | Submission deadline | 1 Feb 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 20 Feb 2019 | | Contract period | 21 Feb 2019 - 22 Mar 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £15,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £14,250 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | OFFICE OF RAIL AND ROAD | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | WC2B 4AN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | SYSTRA | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 71311200 - Transport systems consultancy services - 72221000 - Business analysis consultancy services - 79412000 - Financial management consultancy services ## Release History - 24 Sep 2019 at 12:38 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/954939b5-d243-4665-9b5c-195643a5472b - 18 Jan 2019 at 16:20 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e495c144-4207-4e3c-99ba-24414bdaa90c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/954939b5-d243-4665-9b5c-195643a5472b 24th September 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e495c144-4207-4e3c-99ba-24414bdaa90c 18th January 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a47a23f9-ed6a-4329-b406-01e8078453b3 ORR/CT/18-83 ITT - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c5534fc8-8321-4a69-8413-c03b0fcfb119 ORR/CT/18-83 Form of Tender - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f1edb7e2-197f-47ea-bb7b-02ab90a44c92 ORR/CT/18-83 Disclaimer - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/724bd4ec-5ffc-4dd1-9554-03a5f029b916 ORR/CT/18-83 Form of Agreement - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9185b231-8b69-498c-9b2f-affa2dea2f5e Bravo Joining Instructions ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
