Lot details

Lot 1

Network Rail seeks to retrofit its Ballast Cleaning Systems with critical safety enhancements, this activity is essential to protect safety of trackside workers. The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is responsible for the safe integration of these modifications with other on-board systems and technology . Changes and modifications to these systems require the vehicle safety case to be validated following the change, regardless of whether the change is mechanical, electrical or software based. This validation requires access to the design data for the vehicle. In cases where the IPR for the design data is held by the OEM, changes to these vehicles must be designed, developed and implemented by the OEM. Only the OEM holds the information through exclusive rights driven by IPR retention and the OEM is required to underwrite the safety of the OTM. Additionally, and inflated by the IPR retention the supplier holds the technical competence required to carry out the works, it is considered unsafe for any other supplier to complete the works due to the intrusive nature of the modification which will include mechanical, electrical and software changes.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 50. The category anchor is Repair and maintenance services of rolling stock (50222000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 509,2274 median · 22.4 average (3,784 of 9,227 with a bid count)3.3 average (4,301 of 9,227 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
