    Brief

    The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) is seeking consultants to provide economic analysis supporting the assessment of four track access applications. Track access contracts allow train operators to use Network Rail infrastructure and require ORR approval under the Railways Act 1993. ORR must evaluate these applications by considering multiple factors including network capacity availability, impact on service performance and safety, competitive effects, and financial implications for the Secretary of State. The successful consultant will conduct economic analyses to inform ORR's decision-making on these four specific access applications. This work requires expertise in rail industry economics, infrastructure access assessment, and regulatory frameworks. The engagement involves analysing complex commercial and operational considerations to support ORR's statutory duties in regulating national rail network access.
