Purpose There will be a wide range of users for this equipment; from new employees starting off on their railway career up to advanced Signalling Technicians who will need occasional refresher opportunities and development of skills for new processes and methodologies or because of a change in the track access. Operatives need a good knowledge and skills with signals which will improve safety and operational performance. Operatives are likely to use the facility 2 or 3 times a month for familiarisation and testing and generally will use it for relatively short periods of time – maybe up to 90 minutes a time. Often it will be a single person entering but occasionally there will also be a supervisor and maybe a third person so the design should consider space for up to 3 or 4 persons at a time. Network Rail standard NR/L2/SIG/10027/F02: Surveillance of Signal Engineering Faulting and Maintenance Activities should be considered for the training requirements of the specialists. Structure The structure needs to be a stand-alone unit that can be placed at a specific location at a Network Rail depot or operational site. The unit needs to be strong, robust and able to be relocated should Network Rail wish to move the unit over time. The unit can be a strong shed, converted shipping container or something similar. The unit must have a reasonable finish both inside and out including the flooring and it will need to be watertight. It must have an access facility such as a door which must be able to be securely locked when not in use. There is no need necessarily for windows, but they could be considered, however there should be sufficient lighting provided so users can use the unit in a safe environment and work in a comfortable manner. Air vents should be included to enable suitable ventilation. There is no need for heating units to be included although again they could be considered. Electricity connections with existing Network Rail infrastructure will be provided but the structure will need power connection and suitable wiring, switches sockets etc. embedded within the structure fabric. The electricity connection needs to be safe and suitable for an external location. Maintenance of the structure should be minimal although the unit should be suitable for use for between 5-10 years. Fit Out The unit is to be fitted out with signal equipment provided by the supplier. Hence the supplier should be familiar with the standard type of signalling equipment used on Network Rail track infrastructure. Obviously, the range of signalling equipment is quite wide and so Network Rail would like the supplier to propose a series of design options for Network Rail to consider and select what exac... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/purchase-of-railway-signalling-training-unit-ocds-h6vhtk-05ff73) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planning - **CPV codes:** 34632200 - **Contract Period:** 02/03/2026 to 27/03/2026 ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F000357-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-01-05T14:31:22.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-22T01:43:12.979Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-05ff73
