## Summary

The Office of Rail and Road has initiated a tender process for a third-party review of the National Highways licence self-assurance, located in London, United Kingdom. The buyer, classified as a public authority within central government, is seeking services in the internal audit sector, with the procurement categorised under the industry code 79212200. This open procurement method falls below the threshold, and participants must submit their bids electronically via the specified portal by 28th August 2026. The contract is scheduled to commence on 11th September 2026 and conclude on 5th October 2026 with a gross contract value of £48,000.

Businesses specializing in audit services, particularly those with experience in evaluating compliance and evidence scrutiny, will find this tender opportunity promising for growth. With an emphasis on quality in the award criteria, small and medium-sized enterprises are encouraged to compete, especially those proficient in delivering robust audit evaluations. This project offers a chance to reinforce connections within central government sectors and potentially lead to further engagements in similar compliance review projects.

## Notice

The objective of the project is to scrutinise the processes in place and quality of evidence that National Highways uses to assure itself that it is compliant with the conditions of its licence. To do this, ORR would like the winning bidder to sample conditions from the licence to extrapolate a position regarding the robustness of the evidence identified by the company to demonstrate compliance.
