Analysis to inform ORR's RIS3 Efficiency Review

The procurement contact named on the official notice.

Successful bidders will be responsible for scrutinising aspects of the Draft SBP and providing expert advice and analysis.

For each lot, the final deliverable will be a report setting out the consultant's findings.

ORR will draw on these reports when developing its advice to the Secretary of State.

The advice itself, and the opinions it contains, remain the responsibility of ORR.

The ORR project team and consultancy teams will need to work in an integrated manner during the Efficiency Review.

In some cases, the boundaries between various lots are overlapping.

Therefore, consultants will also need to liaise with each other during the process.

Direct engagement with subject-matter experts within National Highways will be required.

National Highways and ORR will facilitate interviews and workshops for this purpose.

Meetings will typically be attended by both consultants and ORR.

The ORR will submit requests for data and information to National Highways on the consultants' behalf via an agreed process for the Efficiency Review.
