Tender description
Autumn Response Teams (ART) provide proactive and reactive mitigation to manage low adhesion risk, protect operational safety, and improve overall network performance. Autumn is historically one of the most challenging seasons for railway operations due to railhead contamination caused primarily by leaf fall. Compacted leaf matter significantly reduces wheel–rail adhesion, increasing the risk of Signals Passed at Danger (SPADs), station over-runs, braking performance issues, and consequential service disruption.

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.
