## Summary

The Department for Business & Trade commissioned specialist infrastructure consultancy for railway projects in Peru. The work covers an early-stage project development approach known as “Phase 0”, focused on robust preparation before major public-private partnership rail projects reach the market. The supplier is to turn UK technical recommendations into a technical guide and roadmap for the Peruvian Government, helping it institutionalise Phase 0 as the standard approach across future rail PPP projects. This is a professional services requirement concerning rail infrastructure advice, project preparation and government-facing technical guidance. The work is associated with Peru and is intended to support the Peruvian Government, although the buyer is the UK Department for Business & Trade.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to Arup International Projects Limited without competition under a below-threshold procedure. The award was made on 12 August 2026, when the contract was also signed. The contract runs from 12 August 2026 to 23 October 2026, with a possible one-month extension to 23 November 2026. Its value is £15,000 excluding VAT and £18,000 including VAT. Arup is the selected supplier for the single requirement. The contract is active, and the procurement concerns infrastructure works consultancy services. The stated delivery is a dedicated Phase 0 development approach, producing the technical guide and roadmap needed to support consistent preparation of rail PPP projects in Peru.

This award shows demand for specialist consultancy that can prepare major rail public-private partnership projects before they reach market. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience in rail infrastructure project development, early-stage project preparation and the technical or commercial challenges of PPP delivery. It would also need to turn expert recommendations into clear, usable guidance for a government client, rather than providing only design or construction services. The requirement demonstrates value in combining infrastructure knowledge with policy, institutional and roadmap development: the intended outcome is to make a project-preparation method standard across rail PPP projects. Firms with relevant international advisory experience, strong technical writing capability and the ability to work with public authorities in Peru would be well placed.
