What is being bought

Published requirement description

Transport for the South East (TfSE) is seeking a consultancy service, or consortium, that will

work collaboratively with the team to provide a call off consultancy provision to cover a wide

range of support to TfSE, to ensure delivery of our ambitious programme of work. The range of

work that TfSE want to deliver is diverse and their technical team requires expert and technical

support to deliver it. This contract will provide a call off consultancy provision to cover a wide

range of support to Transport for the South East and its partners, to ensure delivery of the

programme.

The required consultancy service, provided by a single supplier or a consortium, will work

collaboratively with the Transport for the South East team to provide a wide range of specialist

advice and technical support to deliver the ambitious TfSE programme of work. DfT funding

requires delivery of projects within agreed timescales. This Contract will ensure that TfSE can

meet these deadlines. Up to this point, the service has been undertaking reactive procurement

exercises in order to obtain the services of a multitude of consultants over a number of projects;

the aim of this contract is to cease the need for re-active procurement exercises and to obtain a

level of consistency in the services being provided.
