What is being bought

London Northwestern and West Midlands Railway (Operated by WM Trains Limited) are seeking to procure a cloud-based system that allows remote access to CCTV images recorded and stored in the on-board Network Video Recorders (NVR) fitted to selected train fleets within the London Northwestern and West Midlands Railway fleet or links to third party servers where CCTV has been remotely downloaded to on the fleets that are already equipped with remote NVR access. The main driver of the project is to enhance the capabilities of the primary users of fleet CCTV data - the Security team, and to provide more agility for other users such as the fleet production and operational management teams to utilise CCTV data to support activities such as maintenance, training and incident response. It is expected that accessing on-train CCTV data remotely shall significantly reduce the quantity of failed downloads that are as a result of the current requirement, for certain fleets, to manually remove CCTV HDDs from units in order to manually download CCTV data.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 32. The category anchor is Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment (32000000); 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.

General Information: In accordance with section 16 of the Procurement Act 2023, WM Trains Limited is undertaking Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) ahead of a forthcoming Competitive Flexible Procedure for the provision of an enterprise-grade Video Management System (VMS). This notice invites feedback from suitably positioned suppliers prior to the publication of the Tender Notice. Key Scope Overview: • Provision of an enterprise-grade, cloud-hosted VMS platform providing remote video access, search, and evidence handling. • Integration with legacy On-Train Camera Systems (OTCS) and onboard Network Video Recorders (NVRs). • Elimination of legacy hardware handling by ensuring there are no future manual handling requirements such as having to remove HDDs for manual uploads. • Deployment of edge-gateway hardware capable of smart network offloading (utilising depot/station Wi-Fi for bulk downloads alongside cellular connectivity). Suppliers wishing to participate in this PME should email procurement@wmtrains.co.uk by 17th August with the subject line " Remote CCTV - PME Response". Upon receipt of a valid expression of interest, suppliers will be provided with a copy of the high-level briefing notes. Suppliers may then submit written questions or feedback to the same email address no later than 24th August. Responses will be reviewed by the procurement team and may inform the design of the forthcoming competitive procedure. WM Trains Limited will not respond to individual submissions but reserves the right to publish consolidated anonymised responses where appropriate. Participation in this PME exercise does not confer any advantage in the subsequent competitive process, nor does publication of this notice constitute a commitment to proceed to procurement.engagement25 Aug 2026scheduled

    "description": "London Northwestern and West Midlands Railway (Operated by WM Trains Limited) are seeking to procure a cloud-based system that allows remote access to CCTV images recorded and stored in the on-board Network Video Recorders (NVR) fitted to selected train fleets within the London Northwestern and West Midlands Railway fleet or links to third party servers where CCTV has been remotely downloaded to on the fleets that are already equipped with remote NVR access.\nThe main driver of the project is to enhance the capabilities of the primary users of fleet CCTV data - the Security team, and to provide more agility for other users such as the fleet production and operational management teams to utilise CCTV data to support activities such as maintenance, training and incident response.\nIt is expected that accessing on-train CCTV data remotely shall significantly reduce the quantity of failed downloads that are as a result of the current requirement, for certain fleets, to manually remove CCTV HDDs from units in order to manually download CCTV data.",
