## Summary

The Office of Rail and Road has initiated a public procurement process for the provision of safety advice to inform the RIS3 Efficiency Review. Located in London, this process is classified under the 'Highways consultancy services' industry category (CPV 71311210) and falls within central government operations. This procurement is in the 'tender' stage, inviting submissions until 28th July 2025, with the period for queries closing on 21st July 2025. The contract is valued at £70,000, with a gross amount of £84,000, scheduled to commence on 11th August 2025 and conclude on 6th March 2026. The procurement method is an open competition, allowing for electronic submissions through an online platform.

This procurement offers potential business growth opportunities for consultants specialising in safety and efficiency evaluations within the highways sector. The opportunity is particularly suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) given that the contract's suitability criteria encourage SME participation. With emphasis on quality and cost, this contract presents a valuable chance for businesses that can demonstrate excellence in qualitative metrics and cost-effective solutions.

## Notice

During the Efficiency Review, we conduct a thorough assessment of National Highways' Draft Strategic Business Plan (SBP) to confirm that the company's plans will deliver the government's requirements and do so in a way that represents an effective and efficient use of public money. Consultants will undertake an evaluation of the cost effectiveness and deliverability of National Highways' safety improvement proposals and provide expert advice on the potential approaches to setting safety performance targets, and on the targets themselves, for RP3 that are challenging and deliverable.
