## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department of Transport as the buying organisation, with a contract titled "Interoperability and Brexit". This contract falls under the industry category of research and development consultancy services and is located in London, United Kingdom. The procurement method employed was a direct single tender action due to its value being below the threshold. The procurement stage has reached completion, and the contract has been awarded, with its effective period starting from 19 February 2018 and ending on 31 August 2018. The award was published on 19 December 2018.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in regulatory compliance and technical support relating to legislative changes. Given the project's focus on ensuring Brexit readiness, firms with capabilities in legal analysis of EU directives and rail standards would be particularly well-positioned to compete. This could also encourage collaboration among larger organisations and experienced consultancies to participate in future similar contracts.

## Notice

The purpose of this assignment is to provide specialist technical support to the DfT's Interoperability Project Team to help ensure Brexit readiness, and to carry out a thorough analysis of EU legislation related to the Interoperability Directive. The driver for this programme of work is the need to prepare legislative changes in time for "day one" Brexit in March 2019. The work involves helping DfT identify and address any deficiencies that may arise in retained EU law that deals with rail technical standards. The outputs from this work will feed into regulatory changes that may be made to UK law to prepare for "day one" of Brexit.
