## Summary

The National Infrastructure Commission has recently awarded a contract for the project titled "International Benchmarking of UK Infrastructure Costs" to Oxford Global Projects UK Limited. The procurement process, initiated as a tender, involved benchmarking the cost of building infrastructure assets in the UK against international comparators. The contract value is £110,000 GBP, with a two-month duration starting from February 23, 2024, to April 12, 2024. The procurement method was direct through a single tender action, and the tender deadline was January 26, 2024. The project falls under the main procurement category of services and is located in LONDON, with the buying organisation being the National Infrastructure Commission.

This tender presents an opportunity for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in economic research services and infrastructure development. Companies with experience in international benchmarking projects and a focus on cost analysis would be well-suited to compete. With the diverse nature of the project, businesses with innovative solutions and a track record in similar infrastructure cost comparison exercises stand to benefit from engaging in this contract. Being a service-focused procurement, businesses proficient in delivering specialised reports and analysis within tight timelines would have a competitive advantage in tendering for this opportunity.

## Notice

The National Infrastructure Commission (the "Commission") wishes to appoint a specialist supplier to benchmark the cost of building infrastructure assets in the UK, against international comparators. The benchmarking will determine - where evidence permits, and on a like-for-like basis - whether infrastructure assets cost more to build in the UK than in other similarly developed countries. The Commission will publish the outputs of its analysis in June 2024, together with the Supplier's supporting report. The Contract will be for two months.
