We require a supplier to provide a pool of suitably qualified and experienced specialist contractors to provide oversight for the project as a whole and specific technical support/internal delivery for the Maintenance and Renewals workstream. It is critical that the chosen contractors integrate with ORR's existing staff working on the project. The contract is expected to run from w/c 06 November 2017 until 30 June 2018. The contractors should be capable of independently reviewing UK rail infrastructure projects and programmes and developing a efficient cost framework. The supplier is expected to name a selection of suitable individuals, a number of whom could be drawn on as necessary. They will work under ORR direction and will be based in ORR's London offices. As consistency of approach is extremely important, the chosen supplier must be able to ensure that, as much as is practicable, the nominated group is available throughout the term of the contract. Further details of the specific project and outputs can be found in the ITT Additional information: Bidders should upload their clarification questions and proposals / related documentation by the date and time set out in the ITT. Under no circumstances should prospective bidders approach any member of ORR staff other than a member of the procurement team in relation to this tender. It is recommended that prospective bidders register on our e-Tendering portal early so that they can relieve further information such as the question and answer log.
