## Summary

Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd is initiating a procurement process titled "Wales and Western operating model – Phase 2" in the business services sector, specifically focusing on law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. This process, which falls under the services category, is based in the UK. The current stage of the procurement is the award stage, with significant actions completed on 13th February 2025. This follow-on contract builds on a previous phase awarded to KPMG LLP, and includes potential additional options such as an organisational review of operations and maintenance. The procurement method employed is a limited, negotiated process without the publication of a contract notice, primarily due to regulatory exemptions for additional services by the same supplier.

This tender presents a substantial business growth opportunity, particularly for consultancy firms with expertise in organisational design and development within the railway services sector. Businesses involved in similar high-level consulting services would find this tender well-suited to their capabilities. As the procurement involves a negotiated process with KPMG LLP, it highlights the advantage of having an existing relationship and proven experience with Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd. Potential subcontracting opportunities may also be available, making it viable for smaller firms to participate indirectly.
