Network Rail's Technical Authority (TA) is a centre of expertise, accountable for setting technical guidance for Network Rail and the railway system. Technical Authority cover safety, health and wellbeing, environment and sustainability, security, engineering, technology, capability, compliance, and incident investigations. Technical Authority are building an expanding portfolio of practical solutions to support regions, from modernising the way Network Rail manage the railway through safer ways of working, to managing the railway in an increasingly uncertain and changing world including managing the impact of climate change and extreme weather on our network and operating under terror threats. Technical Authority carry out these activities whilst engaging with external bodies from the ORR to the international railway community, to learn and improve. The Requirement: Network Rail's Technical Authority has a requirement for a zero value framework agreement for the supply of a Managed Services provision. The Managed Services Framework (MSF) will support the delivery of the Technical Authority's objectives and enhance the support provided by Technical Authority to the regions, through providing Technical Authority with the ability to flex its capability and capacity through the call off and delivery of defined Work Packages at a more economical and efficient rate than ramping up internal resources. The framework will support all Technical Authority functions including: • Engineering • Environment & Sustainability • Health & Safety • Technology (including Research & Development) • Security Each of these functions contain discreet and specific work activities unique to the function as well as more generic, departmental wide activities like reporting and standards writing / updating.

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Consultative engineering and construction services (71310000); 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 set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 71 | 10,116 | 5 median · 30 average (4,041 of 10,116 with a bid count) | 4.1 average (4,444 of 10,116 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 26 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UK | 2,377 | 5 median · 59.1 average (893 of 2,377 with a bid count) | 6.6 average (1,005 of 2,377 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 258 | 2 median · 89.3 average (3 of 258 with a bid count) | 13.7 average (3 of 258 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.
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.
