The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, following an open tender procedure for services, with a budget ranging from £15,000 to £25,000. The contract is expected to commence on 20th September 2019 and conclude by 16th December 2019. Potential suppliers can deliver services to various locations, including the United Kingdom and European territories. This tender presents an opportunity for consultants with expertise in UK rail infrastructure standards and structural assessment methodologies, particularly those familiar with the assessment processes established by Network Rail. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with demonstrated experience in structural analysis are well-positioned to compete for this project, which involves reviewing the effectiveness of Level 0 assessment tools and their impacts on long-term asset management. ## Notice The ORR are seeking support from a suitably informed consultant who has a demonstrable knowledge of UK rail infrastructure standards and procedures regarding management and structural assessment of structures. The requirements for the assessment of structures on the railway were given in NR/SP/CIV/035: Assessment of Structures (NR, 2004). Network Rail's standard adopted a two stage assessment process comprising of Level 1 and Level 2 assessment. Level 1, the simplest level, and Level 2 typically including advanced methods of structural analysis. In 2011 Network Rail developed an assessment technique to support the rapid delivery of an Assessment Programme which covered 13,431 bridge assessments across the network. The new assessment technique is described as a Level 0 assessment. The Level 0 assessment is a simplified assessment based on principal checks of critical sections and conservative load distribution. First time assessment of structures using a Level 0 approach is generally based on recorded information and supplementary site investigations as determined by the Asset Engineer. We require the successful consultant to review the use of the Level 0 tool, assessment processes and its impact in the asset's long term management as set out in 2.2.
