About

The Department for Transport awarded a contract to Additae Artes Limited for specialist commercial advisory resource to support the Procurement Excellence Team's review of the procurement process, led by the Passenger Services Division of the Rail Group.

This support was required in the context of the Williams Rail Review, launched in September 2018, which considered reforms to the rail system and indicated that the current procurement approach to franchising would need to be reformed.

The advisory resource was essential for developing effective in-life and competition structures to support the findings of the Williams Rail Review and enable fair and transparent competitions.

The contract value was £280,000.
