This sits in the lower-middle of the Research & Development band — a mid-scale opportunity. Based on 20,405 valued Research & Development tenders in our corpus.
Office of Rail and Road has published 6 Research & Development notices, about every 6 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around February 2027.
41% of Office of Rail and Road’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

ORR wishes to procure an independent audit of the assumptions, methodology, calculations and outputs of the demand & revenue forecasting and cost-benefit analysis to provide assurance on the robustness and suitability of the analysis for informing ORR's decision-making.
