Coverage: 29 active published awards; 4 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments.

Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
RSSB is seeking to appoint a supplier to undertake research into the future management of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) across the GB rail industry.
The project will assess gaps in existing engineering, safety, assurance, materials disclosure and waste-management processes; develop a proportionate approach for assessing PFAS-related emissions and waste impacts; and produce practical guidance for managing PFAS-driven change across the railway asset lifecycle. The guidance will be tested through three case studies, including the transition from aqueous film-forming foam to fluorine-free alternatives, and will support consistent, risk-informed decision-making across asset owners, operators, manufacturers, maintainers and the wider supply chain.
