This open tender, classified under architectural and engineering services, is expected to commence on 10 November 2017 and conclude on 30 June 2018. Bids must be submitted by 3 November 2017, and the work will take place in London. The total contract value is £160,000, with a minimum value of £90,000, and interested suppliers must upload their proposals andclarifications via the provided e-Tendering portal. This procurement presents significant opportunities for SMEs with expertise in project management and engineering services within the UK rail sector. Contractors experienced in providing oversight for infrastructure projects and managing contingent labour will be particularly well-positioned to compete. Given the emphasis on integration with existing ORR staff, businesses that can demonstrate consistent team availability and technical proficiency in efficient cost frameworks are likely to succeed in this tendering process. ## Notice ORR is seeking to procure additional support to take over delivery of an Efficient Costs project to cover resource shortages brought about by unscheduled staff changes within ORR. We require a supplier to provide a pool of suitably qualified and experienced specialist contractors to provide oversight for the project as a whole and specific technical support/internal delivery for the Maintenance and Renewals workstream. It is critical that the chosen contractors integrate with ORR's existing staff working on the project. The contract is expected to run from w/c 06 November 2017 until 30 June 2018. The contractors should be capable of independently reviewing UK rail infrastructure projects and programmes and developing a efficient cost framework. The supplier is expected to name a selection of suitable individuals, a number of whom could be drawn on as necessary. They will work under ORR direction and will be based in ORR's London offices. As consistency of approach is extremely important, the chosen supplier must be able to ensure that, as much as is practicable, the nominated group is available throughout the term of the contract. Further details of the specific project and outputs can be found in the ITT Additional information: Bidders should upload their clarification questions and proposals / related documentation by the date and time set out in the ITT. Under no circumstances should prospective bidders approach any member of ORR staff other than a member of the procurement team in relation to this tender. It is recommended that prospective bidders register on our e-Tendering portal early so that they can relieve further information such as the question and answer log. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/71aecc62-9c93-48c2-b8d8-391375bd5107 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Oct 2017 | | Submission deadline | 3 Nov 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 10 Nov 2017 - 30 Jun 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £160,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | 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 | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 79421000 - Project-management services other than for construction work - 79620000 - Supply services of personnel including temporary staff ## Release History - 4 Oct 2017 at 13:46 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/71aecc62-9c93-48c2-b8d8-391375bd5107 - 4 Oct 2017 at 13:44 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/71aecc62-9c93-48c2-b8d8-391375bd5107 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/71aecc62-9c93-48c2-b8d8-391375bd5107 4th October 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/23be33d7-9a4a-41fb-b91b-58814b221992 itt - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/fd121842-1878-4bb7-8658-57fd78adb040 Form of Tender - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2b02fe27-ec06-4625-92c5-19e538c1e16f Form of Agreement - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4ab84fa9-080e-489f-b8a9-823dd0f735d0 Disclaimer - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e78c74da-23ab-4f13-833b-45e39ef33df2 Joining instructions for ORR's e-Tendering Portal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
