## Summary

The Office of Rail and Road (ORR), a central government public authority located at 25 Cabot Square, London, is conducting a procurement process for strategic consultancy services under the title "Whole System Monitoring & Rail Reform Strategic Support." The procurement, related to the transport systems consultancy industry, aims to support anticipated rail industry reforms. The procurement process involves an open competitive method, initiated with tendering and followed by the award and subsequent contract amendment. The contract runs until 31 March 2026, with the option to extend by up to three months. The procurement method is characterised as below-threshold open competition according to the Procurement Act 2023, with the most recent amendment dated 17 December 2025. The contract value is approximately £200,000, inclusive of VAT.

This tender is a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in strategic consultancy, particularly those with expertise in rail economics, infrastructure, operations, and stakeholder engagement. Firms that can provide expert advice, analysis, and design services on rail reform matters are well-suited to compete, as the contract includes delivering Statements of Work throughout the term. The gradual transition and reform expected in the rail industry offer substantial growth prospects for large consultancy firms like CPCS TRANSCOM UK LTD, which was awarded the contract initially. Businesses with a multidisciplinary approach and successful case studies in similar areas will be able to leverage their experience for potential contract modifications in response to evolving policy and stakeholder requirements.
