About ORR

The Welsh Government specifies and monitors the train passenger franchise in Wales.

Transport Scotland was established in January 2006 as an executive agency of the Scottish Executive directly accountable to Scottish Ministers.

We publish data and information about ORR as part of our commitment to transparency.

The Government has set out the need for greater transparency in public expenditure.

Our online e-tendering system enables us to publish notices, pre-qualification questionnaires, and invitations to tender.

We actively encourage and support Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and third sector organisations to compete for our contracts.

To ensure value for money, our procurement activities are subject to different levels of competition based on the value of the expenditure.

As the safety and economic regulator of the rail industry and Highways England’s monitor, we work with a number of organisations in the railway industry.
