Award Notice for the Supply of Anti-Ice Products
Authority: NETWORK RAIL INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED (Central government)·Consortium: 2 public authorities
What is being bought2 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionNetwork Rail is procuring anti-ice material to be applied to the conductor rail on Network Rail's electrified 3rd Rail network, using its fleet of specialist rail vehicles (MPVs and SITTs). The main reason for this procurement activity is to maintain track safety as anti-icing fluid will prevent the adhesion of ice to the rail head and allow electricity to flow to the collector shoe of passing rail vehicles.

- Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Award Notice for the Supply of Anti-Ice Products” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 2 suppliers, not a single contract.
