## Summary

The Department of Transport is currently engaged in the procurement of consultancy services under the project titled "RIS2 Performance Specification." This process falls under the category of Research and Development Consultancy Services, with a contract value of £250,000. The procurement is being conducted through a selective method, based on a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender was officially awarded on 13 July 2018, and the contract period spans from 23 July 2018 to 22 March 2019. The delivery location for this contract is London, United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for consultancy firms, particularly those with expertise in developing performance specifications and metrics for transport projects. Businesses with capabilities in research and development consultancy services will find this an advantageous area for growth. Additionally, firms that are experienced in working with governmental organisations or have a strong track record in public sector contracts may find themselves well-positioned to compete effectively in this procurement process.

## Notice

If this request was not approved then the targets for the RIS 2 performance specification might not deliver the ambition of DfT or be set in the most appropriate way to adequately reflect performance. It also might result in some metrics not having targets due to HE's inability to produce robust targets or those targets being developed late. This would mean DfT would not be able to produce a performance specification with both metrics and targets which ORR can consider in their efficiency review leading to either less than ideal targets being set or metrics not having targets in the RIS 2 performance specification.
