## Summary

The Department for Transport (DfTc) has completed a procurement process for technical advisors to support their rail contract projects, specifically with Heathrow Express. This procurement falls under the transport systems consultancy services category, with services expected to be delivered across various locations including the United Kingdom and broader international territories. The process utilised a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates include the conclusion of the tender period on 27th June 2025, with the contract period running from 14th July 2025 to 10th December 2026. The award, valued at £329,250, was made to Steer Davies & Gleave Limited, a large-scale supplier based in London.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses that are specialised in transport systems consultancy services and possess the necessary scale and expertise to handle large projects. Although not suited for SMEs or VCSEs, larger consultancy firms with robust experience in similar projects could leverage this opportunity to enhance their portfolio and build prestige by aligning with a high-profile client such as the DfTc. The international scope of the advisory services further presents an expansive arena for the successful bidder to showcase its competencies on a global stage.
