Tender description
Network Rail has a business and legislative requirement to calculate gauge clearances to all currently cleared rolling stock and freight gauges, that enables efficient capability and risk management. There are also additional requirements to analyse for additional rolling stock, out of gauge loads and track design for renewals and maintenance. The current NR gauging clearance ecosystem is comprised of three applications. A single system is sought that will satisfy all requirements, be simpler to use and more economical to support and maintain.

About the buyer
Network Rail runs a safe, efficient railway, and buys as a central public body split between a national Route Services team and its regional routes. Suppliers must register on BravoNR, Network Rail's procurement portal, before bidding for work. Every prospective supplier also registers on Find a Tender, the Cabinet Office's digital platform. Safety-critical work needs audited status on RISQS, the rail industry's supplier qualification scheme, before Network Rail contracts directly. A contract register lists every national contract and framework, with a contact for each. Network Rail's latest spend reporting covers Control Period 7, the 2024-25 financial year.
Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.
Over the past 5 years, most of Network Rail's contract awards have been in IT services, architectural and engineering services and construction work.
