The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) is seeking to appoint a consultancy provider to undertake an independent study of integration opportunities arising from the creation of Great British Railways (GBR). The requirement includes identifying, assessing and prioritising opportunities for improved efficiency, operational performance and revenue generation through greater integration of rail operations. The successful supplier will undertake a two-phase programme, including the development of a prioritised long-list and shortlist of opportunities, supporting analysis and recommendations, and an independent review of related Network Rail work. The outputs will support ORR's future regulatory oversight and statutory advisory responsibilities in relation to rail reform.

| 1 | Business and management consultancy services | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Business and management consultancy services (79410000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 79 | 8,355 | 4 median · 35.6 average (3,207 of 8,355 with a bid count) | 3.3 average (3,605 of 8,355 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 10 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UK | 2,349 | 4 median · 71.8 average (861 of 2,349 with a bid count) | 5.2 average (1,025 of 2,349 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 663 | 3 median · 4.5 average (10 of 663 with a bid count) | 1 average (10 of 663 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.
