    Brief

    This project involves conducting a comprehensive benchmarking analysis of Network Rail's maintenance and renewals expenditure for the financial year 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. The work aims to understand the key drivers of Network Rail's spending and identify reasons for expenditure changes over time, which is essential for assessing value for money and cost efficiency. The analysis will employ a combination of complementary approaches: bottom-up assessments examining Network Rail's business plans and operational performance, and top-down statistical (econometric) benchmarking methods to compare costs. Suppliers may be engaged to support data analysis, econometric modelling, cost comparisons with industry benchmarks, or validation of findings. This opportunity is suitable for consultancies, research organisations, or specialists with expertise in rail infrastructure economics, cost benchmarking, statistical analysis, and public sector efficiency evaluation.
