In plain English

North Lincolnshire Council is buying a feasibility study to find out whether more freight can move by rail in the area. The study will look at existing rail sidings and terminals, possible new sites, and the benefits and commercial case for new or improved rail freight infrastructure. The budget is a fixed £72,000.

What the buyer wants

• Assess existing rail heads and sidings, explore potential new sites, and review network access. • Evaluate commercial viability and quantify the economic, social and environmental benefits. • Establish whether new or improved rail freight infrastructure is practical, beneficial and aligned with local priorities.

Requirements

What could rule a small business out (our reading of the notice, written with AI): The notice sets no explicit qualification or experience criteria, but the scope covers rail network access, sidings and commercial viability, which would likely need specialist rail and transport economics expertise that a small generalist firm may not have.
