Key responsibilities will focus on four main areas: advising on existing rail operations, managing transition arrangements, supporting future operations planning, and providing legal support for future operations under public control. The initial contract term is three years, with two optional 12-month extension periods available. This is an ideal opportunity for law firms with expertise in transport, infrastructure, and public sector governance.
