## Summary

The procurement process for the Retail and Station Enhancements (RSE) Welcome Points Project is led by the Rail Delivery Group, located in London, United Kingdom. This procurement is categorised under support services for railway transport and transport systems consultancy services. It follows a direct award procurement method with a focus on utilities, driven by the need to maintain compatibility with existing services without incurring technical difficulties. The contract status is complete, and the procurement stage is in the Award phase. The contract period commences on 1st April 2026 and ends on 30th September 2026, with options for service variations throughout the term. Cadence Innova has been named as the supplier, and the award value is £449,124 GBP, reflecting a transition of the spend beyond the public contracts threshold.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for consultancy firms excelling in transport systems and railway support services. With Cadence Innova awarded the contract, SMEs specialising in consultancy services may find this sector lucrative, as this project forms part of a highly political and sensitive undertaking. Firms that can offer embedded services and demonstrate the ability to maintain project continuity could thrive by engaging in future similar projects. The direct award approach signifies a prime opportunity for businesses that can efficiently align with pre-existing project parameters, especially those adept at handling utilities projects within a tightly controlled framework.

## Notice

This is a Direct Award for consultancy services that have been embedded in the project from its outset. The value of the spend has gone above the public contracts threshold and therefore has become a convertible contract under PA23. As Rail Settlement Plan Limited is a utility with no requirement to publish procurement notices for below threshold procurement awards, which this award originally started as, there is no original procurement notice to link this award to and comply with the convertible contract concept. Therefore, we are publishing Transparency and Contract Award notices to demonstrate that we are being fair and transparent to the market.

### Procurement Information

The direct award to Cadence Innova complying with the convertible contract concept, concerns the supply of services by the existing supplier which are intended as an extension to services based on the circumstances where a change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving services that are different from, and incompatible with, the existing services, and the difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance. The consultancy services have been embedded in the delivery of the project from its outset and the project is entering its final stages and a change to supplier at this stage would have significant negative impact on a highly political and sensitive project.
