About ORR

Train Operating Companies (TOCs) run rail passenger services. They do this by leasing and managing stations from Network Rail.

Network Rail is the owner, operator and infrastructure manager of Britain's main railway network.

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.
