#2092 - Contract of Indirect Infrastructure Materials and Consumables

Tender description

Network Rail wishes to move away from having direct relationships with approximately 300 separate suppliers of indirect infrastructure materials and consumables items, to a supplier managed distribution model. Under this model only one or two suppliers will manage the procurement, supply, storage and distribution of these items on Network Rail's behalf. Accordingly, under this procurement Network Rail requires the supply to it by one or two successful provider(s) of: (a) indirect infrastructure materials and consumables items; and (b) associated services. Network Rail may also require supplies and services in respect of the provision of an associated software solution. The indirect infrastructure materials and consumable items include railway specific and generic items. Lot 1 will relate to the supply of railway specific items, and Lot 2 will relate to the supply of generic items. It is expected there will be between 10,000 and 20,000 different types of items requiring supply.
