What is being bought

Network Rail’s North and East Route intends to procure a proven, commercially available Software as a Service (SaaS) digital twin platform to support rail asset management. The aim is to aggregate disparate data sources into a single, user-friendly interface, enabling multi-discipline collaboration and supporting a more predictive, data-driven approach to maintaining the railway infrastructure. The procurement will cover: A web-based digital twin SaaS solution capable of visualising geospatial asset data, integrating real-time and historic data from sensors, condition monitoring devices, and IoT sources, and supporting advanced analytics such as asset health modelling, degradation prediction, and intervention planning. Development of application programming interfaces (APIs) and associated data management solutions to enable secure, scalable integration with existing Network Rail systems, ensuring data longevity and interoperability. Hosting and security: The solution should be hosted on a UK-based cloud service, preferably within Network Rail’s Azure environment, and support Microsoft Entra single sign-on (SSO). Compliance with Network Rail’s information and cyber security standards, as well as relevant industry standards (e.g., ISO 27001, GDPR), is mandatory. User access: The platform must allow access for all Network Rail staff and authorised contractors at no additional cost, with robust user management and permissions. Technical support and service levels: The supplier will be required to provide technical support, defined response times for outages, and ensure system performance meets agreed loading times. The solution should be modular, allowing Network Rail to select features as required, and support an unlimited number of users on a monthly subscription basis. Suppliers are encouraged to demonstrate the full capabilities of their solutions, even if not all requirements are met, and to propose cost-effective approaches, particularly where hosting is on Network Rail’s Azure environment.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Digital mapping services (71354100); 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 713,4193 median · 31.2 average (873 of 3,419 with a bid count)3.6 average (971 of 3,419 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.

    "description": "Network Rail’s North and East Route intends to procure a proven, commercially available Software as a Service (SaaS) digital twin platform to support rail asset management. The aim is to aggregate disparate data sources into a single, user-friendly interface, enabling multi-discipline collaboration and supporting a more predictive, data-driven approach to maintaining the railway infrastructure.\nThe procurement will cover:\nA web-based digital twin SaaS solution capable of visualising geospatial asset data, integrating real-time and historic data from sensors, condition monitoring devices, and IoT sources, and supporting advanced analytics such as asset health modelling, degradation prediction, and intervention planning.\nDevelopment of application programming interfaces (APIs) and associated data management solutions to enable secure, scalable integration with existing Network Rail systems, ensuring data longevity and interoperability.\nHosting and security: The solution should be hosted on a UK-based cloud service, preferably within Network Rail’s Azure environment, and support Microsoft Entra single sign-on (SSO). Compliance with Network Rail’s information and cyber security standards, as well as relevant industry standards (e.g., ISO 27001, GDPR), is mandatory.\nUser access: The platform must allow access for all Network Rail staff and authorised contractors at no additional cost, with robust user management and permissions.\nTechnical support and service levels: The supplier will be required to provide technical support, defined response times for outages, and ensure system performance meets agreed loading times.\nThe solution should be modular, allowing Network Rail to select features as required, and support an unlimited number of users on a monthly subscription basis. Suppliers are encouraged to demonstrate the full capabilities of their solutions, even if not all requirements are met, and to propose cost-effective approaches, particularly where hosting is on Network Rail’s Azure environment.",
