DRS has awarded a contract for the provision of a Fleet and Asset Management System for its rail division. Further details of the tender can be found by searching C28606 on the Atamis procurement platform. DRS does not consider itself bound by the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23) and associated procurement legislation (together the “UK procurement legislation”) on the basis that, operating commercially, it is not a public authority, nor does it carry out any utility activities. Accordingly, the Procurement is not, and does not purport to be, subject to UK procurement legislation. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenderers are put on notice that the publication of this document and any other document that relates to this Procurement (including the relevant tender notice) is published voluntarily and nothing in this document, or any other document that DRS publishes in relation to this Procurement, should be construed as purporting to give rise to rights or obligations under UK procurement legislation. Finance Note: The total contract value has been estimated based on the maximum allowable contract duration, with an inclusion for contingency.

"features": "DRS is seeking suppliers for the provision of a Fleet and Asset Management System for its rail division. Further details can be found by searching C28606 on the Atamis procurement platform\nDRS does not consider itself bound by the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23) and associated procurement legislation (together the “UK procurement legislation”) on the basis that, operating commercially, it is not a public authority, nor does it carry out any utility activities. Accordingly, the Procurement is not, and does not purport to be, subject to UK procurement legislation. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenderers are put on notice that the publication of this document and any other document that relates to this Procurement (including the relevant tender notice) is published voluntarily and nothing in this document, or any other document that DRS publishes in relation to this Procurement, should be construed as purporting to give rise to rights or obligations under UK procurement legislation. That said, DRS intends to operate a fair process which broadly aligns with certain key aspects of the competitive flexible procedure under the PA23 and which aligns with the objectives of section 12(1)-(3) of the PA23. The process for this initial stage of the Procurement is set out in this Stage 1 ITT."

"description": "DRS is undertaking a strategic transformation of its rail fleet and asset management system in anticipation of the Maximo contract ending in November 2026. The current system, Maximo 7.6, is underutilised, with less than 20% of its functionality actively used and it presents ongoing challenges.\nAs part of this process, we are hosting a Supplier Engagement Day on Monday, 27th October. On this day we intend to go through more details around our requirements. To be invited, suppliers are invited to contact the email [daniel.scott@ntsglobal.uk] and you will be sent an engagement form to complete. I would ask all supplier that wish to attend the engagement day to return the form by 12:00 noon on 24th October. \nThe project aims to select and implement a modern, fit-for-purpose, off-the-shelf solution by October 2026. This system will enhance user experience, improve integration with the wider digital ecosystem, reduce operational and support costs, and unlock greater value from asset data. The vision is to operate with an intuitive, scalable solution that serves as a single source of truth for all maintenance records and activities, enabling better decision-making, improved compliance, and enhanced operational performance. This transformation will support operational excellence, flexibility, scalability, and long-term sustainability across DRS’s rail operations",
