Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will publish the work package request issued by his Department on 26 May that led to the proposal received by his Department from Rail People Solutions Ltd on 30 May and the contract agreed with that company under procurement reference TTWO0196 on 7 June 2022.

We can confirm the department has stood up a team to manage the departmental operational response to manage possible disruption caused by industrial action. Due to the commercially sensitive nature of the procurement and the awarded contract, the department does not wish to share the documents publicly.
