Procurement of a Traffic Management System

Tender description

Network Rail (NR) requires a Traffic Management Partner (TMP) to work collaboratively within its Eastern Region, and a TMP to work collaboratively within the London North Western North (LNW North) Route of the LNW Region, to achieve NR’s long term strategic vision for Traffic Management. This procurement comprises two Lots and NR will establish a single supplier framework for each Lot as follows: Lot 1: Eastern Region, Lot 2: LNW North Route. The Traffic Management System (TMS) technology, which will cover parts of LNW, LNE and the Trans Pennine route, is expected to control the flow of trains across the network in the most efficient way, adapting as conditions change and increasing capacity on a Route, as well as improving day to day performance. The procurement is run under the Negotiated procedure. The estimated value of each Framework depends on the scope and nature of the call-off contracts awarded under each Framework Agreement. Solution specific call-off contracts may be awarded using a number of different commercial models including “Design Build Maintain Service”, a “Managed Service” and a “Pure Service” and NR may also call-off professional services to provide ad-hoc and/or non-solution specific professional services. Further details are provided in the procurement documents.
