Supplying ORR

The ORR procurement unit is responsible for purchasing the goods and services necessary for ORR to achieve it’s role as the economic and health & safety regulator of the rail industry.

The ORR Procurement unit subscribes to the following values:

  • to provide a modern, efficient, transparent and responsible procurement service;
  • to achieve value for money by balancing quality and cost;
  • to ensure contracts are managed effectively and outputs are delivered;
  • to ensure that processes have regard for equality and diversity; and
  • to ensure that procurement is undertaken with regard to Law and best practice.

In order to improve  efficiency both for ORR and suppliers we have introduced an online eTendering system. The system allows us to publish notices, pre-qualification questionnaires and invitations to tender online, and allows potential suppliers to submit any queries and their responses electronically.

As well as a list of 'open' tenders being run by ORR, the site also gives access to tender opportunities from other public bodies and there is no need to pre-register to view these. 

How do I register my company as a potential ORR supplier?

Follow the link to our eTender supplier website and complete the registration form. It is important you read and understand the user agreement before completing the registration form.

Please note: if you are currently registered with BravoSolution that registration only applies to the 'entity' you are registered to supply. You need to complete a separate registration for each 'entity' you wish to supply.

If you are registered with OGC as a frameworker supplier then please use the same contact details.

Please note you will not be charged for using the system – i.e. there is no registration, subscription or licence fee.

What happens next?

Once your registration is complete, you will have access to 'open invitation' ORR tenders, and we may also invite you to participate in other selected tenders as a supplier.

Please be aware that once you have registered with this system, the system will not automatically alert you of any new opportunities, so be sure to visit the site regularly to see if any new opportunities have been advertised.

Who should I contact if I run into problems?

BravoSolution are providing our e-tendering service. If you have any problems with the registration process or using this service, please call BravoSolution on 0800 011 2470 or email help@bravosolution.co.uk.
