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. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
RSSB is planning to commission research to carry out analysis of all risks requiring consideration for scrap steel loads in open top wagons transiting the Severn Tunnel. This will create the robust, evidence-based case to update the current restrictions in the Severn Tunnel, alongside recommendations for scrap steel preparation and wagon loading practices to effectively manage associated risks.
