Tender description

Network Rail is undertaking this Market Engagement exercise to gather insights from potential suppliers regarding the future provision of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) training. This engagement is intended to inform the development of a potential procurement strategy and ensure that any future contracting approach is aligned with market capabilities, best practices, and innovation in training delivery. The purpose of this Market Engagement is to: • Understanding views of the supply market on the proposed scope, pricing mechanism and call-off mechanism. • Identify any additional or alternative services, requirements or concepts that Network Rail have not considered – this information may then be considered to support Network Rail in developing/updating the scope of services for the tender opportunity. • Identify suitable suppliers available in the market. • Identify the capacity and capabilities of the suppliers available in the market. • Engage with the supply market and understand the level of interest in bidding for this potential future opportunity. • Allow suppliers who are interested in any potential future tender activity relating to this requirement, to be aware of the procurement platform that will be used and provide them with the steps to complete qualification to this platform if requested (should they not have already done so). Please note that any content received in response to this Market Engagement will be used for information purposes only and will not be deemed as forming part of any proposed bid or potential future tender.

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. Network Rail's latest spend reporting covers Control Period 7, the 2024-25 financial year.

Safety-critical work needs audited status on RISQS, the rail industry's supplier qualification scheme, before Network Rail contracts directly.

Over the past 5 years, most of Network Rail's contract awards have been in IT services, architectural and engineering services and construction work.
