Description

This is a Direct Award for consultancy services that have been embedded in the project from its outset. The value of the spend has gone above the public contracts threshold and therefore has become a convertible contract under PA23. As Rail Settlement Plan Limited is a utility with no requirement to publish procurement notices for below threshold procurement awards, which this award originally started as, there is no original procurement notice to link this award to and comply with the convertible contract concept. Therefore, we are publishing Transparency and Contract Award notices to demonstrate that we are being fair and transparent to the market.
