What is being bought

The procurement is for spares for the ETCS (European Train Control System) deployed within Network Rails' Infrastructure Monitoring fleet, specifically in the NMT (New Measurement Train). A direct award framework to the OEM of the parts is planned due to a lack of compatibility of other manufacturer's parts.

Lot details

Lot 1

A series of electronic parts are required for spares to be deployed with Network Rail's NMT (New Measurement Train) for ETCS (European Train Control System) functionality. A fixed number of guaranteed spares is not known, estimates however have been produced with the view to setting up a framework with the OEM for the supply of these.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 34. The category anchor is Railway and tramway locomotives and rolling stock and associated parts (34600000); 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

“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.

Procurement strategy & market signals

Framework agreementYes
Dynamic purchasing systemNot published
Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleThe current ETCS (European Train Control Systems) in the Network Rail NMT (New Measurement Train) is of a Thales Ground Transportation Systems Ltd design using their parts. A spares contract does not exist for the spares for this system, so Network Rail wishes to establish a framework for the foreseeable life of the NMT (initial term until 31/03/2029 with two 1 year extension options). This would allow the purchase of spares for Network Rails stores for use in the event parts are not covered by warranties. Whilst other suppliers of ETCS systems exist in the market, Network Rail technical experts have confirmed their parts are not compatible with current systems, therefore a direct award to the current OEM of this framework is required.
Rationale classificationsThe works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
