Description
The Isle of Wight Council ("the Authority") invites Quotes from suitably qualified suppliers ("Potential Suppliers") for the provision of consultancy support for the development of the Restoring Railways Project Strategic Outline Business Case.
Isle of Wight Council (IWC) is seeking to commission a transport consultancy with appropriate skills and experience to develop a Strategic Outline Business Case (SOBC) and supporting work in relation to the reopening of branch rail lines on the Isle of Wight.
A range of disciplines will be required to undertake this commission, including transport planning, transport modelling, engineering, planning, economic assessment, communications and stakeholder engagement. Previous experience of developing SOBC's for rail projects is considered essential.
The SOBC will consider options relating to:
• an extension of the existing Island Line service (Ryde-Shanklin) south of Shanklin to reach Ventnor;
• integration with, and extension of, the existing Isle of Wight Steam Railway route to provide passenger services through Smallbrook Junction to facilitate a service from Ryde to Newport.
The term of the contract shall be from the commencement date currently planned to be 24 October 2020 until 31 May 2021 with the option to extend for a further 6 months at the sole discretion of the Authority.
