#44397 - Insurance Brokerage Services

Description

Network Rail is conducting preliminary market engagement (PME) to assess the market's capability and appetite to deliver Insurance Brokerage services that are specific to the UK railway industry. This is not a call for competition, but a request for information to inform a potential future procurement exercise in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23). We invite suppliers to respond to the following questions to help us understand market capacity, capability, and any barriers to participation. All questions can be found on the attachment within this Opportunity Listing. PME Questionnaire should be sent to: jack.spence2@networkrail.co.uk As part of planned reforms to the rail industry, including the establishment of Great British Railways (GBR), it is possible that stations and other associated assets currently operated by train operators contracted by the Secretary of State for Transport may also come within the scope of such contract although the timing and volume of such opportunities is not yet known. The pre-market engagement will include exploring suitable mechanisms for modification of the contract in the future and incorporation of such services during the life of the contract. In addition, the contract and procurement process will provide for potential transfer of either the procurement process or the resulting contract itself in the event that this is required due to the establishment of GBR, rail reform or other corporate restructuring.
