## Summary

The Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) has completed the tender process for the "Temple Mills International Depot - capacity assessment" project, aimed at evaluating Eurostar's efficiency in using the depot for train maintenance, repair, overhaul, and stabling. The procurement, classified under the "Research and development services and related consultancy services" category, was conducted via an open procedure (below threshold) and has progressed from the tender stage to awarding a contract to IPEX Consulting Limited. The contract commenced on 13th January 2025 and will conclude on 21st February 2025, with a total contract value of £36,850. The project is located in the United Kingdom and is primarily targeted at SMEs.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in consultancy and research services within the railway sector. By engaging in this project, businesses can expand their portfolios and build a reputation with a key regulatory authority, potentially leading to further opportunities within the rail industry. The focus on efficient depot use would particularly benefit consulting firms that have expertise in operational analysis and railway infrastructure management. By securing such contracts, they can establish critical relationships and demonstrate their capability to improve operational efficiencies for large scale operators like Eurostar.
