EU Media Monitoring

ORR operates within the context of a dynamic and complex European rail market and legislative framework. To achieve our strategic objectives, we need to: • Demonstrate the benefits of competition, market opening, and risk-based safety regulation to European governments, stakeholders and EU institutions. • Influence the drafting and negotiation process for EU legislation. • Help to implement EU law in the UK, alongside DfT, in the best way for UK customers and funders. • Be alert to European developments in the rail market - emulating best practice and learning from the experience of others. • Help government and industry to navigate change associated with the UK's exit from the European Union. To do this we require a regular, reliable summary of media clippings from across Europe.

We require a daily clippings summary of rail-related news from across Europe, by email. Breadth is important - both in terms of geography, themes (from safety incidents to business takeovers) and language. We would like clippings from print-based media (newspapers and trade journals) and, if possible, online sources. The contract is for a two year period, allowing us to reassess our future requirements after the UK's exit from the EU.
