Third party review of National Highways licence self-assurance
The procurement contact named on the official notice.
The submission route named on the official notice.
This sits in the lower-middle of the Business Services band — a mid-scale opportunity. Based on 57,319 valued Business Services tenders in our corpus.
Office of Rail and Road publishes Business Services work continuously — 15 notices, roughly one every 30 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
41% of Office of Rail and Road’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
The objective of the project is to scrutinise the processes in place and quality of evidence that National Highways uses to assure itself that it is compliant with the conditions of its licence.
To do this, ORR would like the winning bidder to sample conditions from the licence to extrapolate a position regarding the robustness of the evidence identified by the company to demonstrate compliance.
