## Summary

The Department for Transport (DfTc), based in London, sought financial consultancy services to support rail contracts and projects under the tender title "TROP89-B04 Financial Advisors to support Rail Contracts & Projects". The procurement process, under the industry category of financial consultancy services (CPV code: 66171000), followed a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. This tender process reached the award stage, with the contract being valued at £826,170. The services will be delivered in locations including the UK, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and potentially worldwide. The tender period concluded on 13th April 2025, and the contract is set to run from 15th May 2025 until the end of 2026.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities particularly for large-scale businesses well-versed in providing financial advisory services, as indicated by the contract's partnership with Ernst & Young LLP. It is especially relevant for firms that can leverage their expertise in the rail sector, aligning their capabilities with the strategic transport infrastructure goals of the UK government. The contract supports international reach, allowing businesses to expand their consultancy footprint beyond the UK. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not deemed specifically suitable for this opportunity, indicating a preference for companies with established frameworks and considerable capacity in handling substantial financial consultancy engagements.
