Strategic insight
& trusted guidance.

In the area of rolling stock, we can provide Technical Advisors, experienced individuals to work alongside your team and help set the strategy and determine the way forward. When you’re making strategic decisions involving rolling stock, depots or maintenance, we are able to help with option development, evaluation against government business case structures, developing procurement options, and supporting the procurement process itself through technical specifications, performance requirements and tender evaluation criteria. Our team can provide tender evaluation too. Helping you make the right decision for the future.

Or if you’re bidding for new projects or a complete franchise, our team can help set the strategy and bid winning themes, analyse options and write the bid text to help you to success. Whether you’re just starting to think through rolling stock options or you’re ready to mobilise a new portfolio of projects, if you need a trusted advisor, we can give you confidence in the decisions being made.

Enspired were selected to provide specialist support to an operations and maintenance team bidding to retain a major urban rail franchise contract. The client had no shortage of ideas and technical expertise, but needed help focusing decision-making and producing timely, well-structured bid documentation across a broad range of subjects — from new rolling stock to maintenance of trackwork and passenger equipment.

Our team mobilised quickly, identifying and prioritising areas where decisions were outstanding and business cases for investment were needed. We provided a forum for the team to debate issues and used our skills to identify the technical and commercial risks associated with various courses of action.

Enspired then authored large sections of the operations and maintenance bid plan in a clear and concise style, drawing specific praise from the client's Bid Director. The client was successful in winning the bid.
