RSSB

RSSB is undertaking preliminary market engagement in relation to two proposed and interdependent research procurements, T1420 and T1421, concerning variability in freight vehicle braking-system components. The overall research programme is expected to include the identification of representative wagons, development of a static brake-testing plan, undertaking of static brake testing and detailed analysis of the resulting data. RSSB currently intends to procure the programme through two separate competitive tender exercises. The precise allocation of the phases and associated activities remains under consideration and may be informed by the responses received through this engagement. The purpose of the engagement is to: • understand supplier interest and capability across the proposed phases; • test whether the proposed procurement and delivery timescales are achievable; • understand how additional testing or information requirements arising during delivery should be managed; and • obtain feedback on data handover, communication, governance and coordination where different suppliers are appointed. RSSB has established the fundamental objectives and proposed technical scope of the research. This engagement is not intended to redesign the core requirement. Further information and the questions on which RSSB is seeking feedback are contained in the T1420 and T1421 Preliminary Market Engagement Briefing – Freight Vehicle Braking Research, available through the Delta eSourcing portal.

Gambling Research Services

Gambling Commission

In April 2025, the UK government introduced a statutory levy on gambling operators to provide 'independent and sustainable funding for gambling-related harms research, prevention and treatment'. A small portion of this funding has been allocated to the Gambling Commission so that it can procure research into gambling-related harms in line with its licensing objectives. Consequently, the Commission wishes to undertake some early market engagement to help it determine how best it might structure an invitation to tender for the provision of research services that will enable it to accelerate the process by which it can fill the evidence gaps that have been identified within the Evidence Roadmaps that the Commission's Research and Statistics Team have developed. About the Commission The Gambling Commission is an executive non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport. The Commission is responsible for issuing personal gambling licences for individuals and gambling operating licences for businesses operating in Great Britain and we are responsible for ensuring all licensing applications meet the following objectives: • preventing gambling from being a source of crime or disorder, being associated with crime or disorder or being used to support crime • ensuring that gambling is conducted in a fair and open way • protecting children and other vulnerable people from being harmed or exploited by gambling. Also, as an evidence-based regulator, the Commission provides evidence-informed advice to the government about gambling behaviour in Great Britain. About Research & Statistics The Research and Statistics Team is responsible for the management and delivery the Commission's Research activity via a range of contracts procured in line with public sector procurement regulations, policy and practice. Under these contracts, the Team work collaboratively with a number of research organisations to collect and analyse data to: • monitor

Highways and Infrastructure Professional Services Contract

Norfolk County Council

As many organisations will be aware, Norfolk County Council ("NCC") recently conducted a procurement exercise for its highways professional services contract ("PSC") which it was unfortunately unable to conclude, and therefore it could not proceed to award a contract. NCC is currently reviewing the approach taken to that competition with the intention that it will, in due course, commence a new competition to replace the current PSC Contract, which is currently provided by WSP and expires on or before 31 March 2028 (the "Opportunity"). The intention is that the newly appointed PSC provider will work closely with Kier, NCC's recently mobilised term maintenance contractor (since April 2026). NCC expects that the PSC will provide for professional services relating to topics including but not limited to highways, bridges and structures, travel and transport, spatial planning, economic development and strategy, environment, waste and infrastructure associated with NCC's estate and carbon assessments. NCC anticipates that the services required under the PSC will be carried out collaboratively with NCC's in-house teams and will include: - Highway design services, project delivery studies, stakeholder consultation studies, and specialist expertise required for the development of highway maintenance, asset management, and capital improvement schemes - Design Services (feasibility, preliminary and detailed) - Bridges and structures design and advisory services - Business Case development in support of funding applications to funders such as DfT and Homes England (e.g., cost benefit analysis, carbon analysis, etc.) - Archaeology and heritage advisory services - Transport planning advisory services - Intelligent transport services and Future Mobility Services design and advisory services - Spatial planning (including master planning, planning applications, statutory services, carbon assessments and environmental impact assessments) - Maritime services (including supporting desi

They will also need to have or be able to access subject matter expertise on transport-related matters throughout the lifetime of the contract (e.g., through sub-contracting arrangements). Outputs from this Framework and subsequent call-offs will be used to inform policy and operational decisions and to build the evidence base on a range of transport policy areas.
