## Summary

The procurement process for the "Rail Tracker Survey" was conducted by the Department for Transport (DfTc) in the United Kingdom, focusing on research and development services. The contract, valued at £123,750, was awarded on 20th January 2020, with a contract period running from 23rd January 2020 to 22nd January 2022. Although the tender stage has concluded, and the award is currently active, the procurement followed a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The delivery addresses include British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the rest of the world.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in research and consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in rail transportation and surveying. Large-scale companies that can manage the nuances of public sector contracts—especially in transportation-related services—would be well-suited to compete. The awarded contract may also present scope for future collaborations or additional contracts as the Department for Transport seeks to enhance its research capabilities.
