    Brief

    The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) is seeking an independent operational analysis contractor to evaluate two competing open access railway service proposals. The first proposal is from Grand Central for a new Newcastle to Brighton passenger service. The second is from First Rail (Lumo) for a Cardiff to York service. The successful supplier will conduct detailed operational assessments to inform ORR's decision-making process on whether to approve these services. This analysis should cover service viability, operational feasibility, network impacts, and alignment with regulatory requirements. Suppliers should have expertise in rail operations, service planning, and rail industry analysis.
