Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ferrovial BAM Rail Systems is seeking an agency to supply specialist rail systems and assurance professionals for a major UK high-speed rail infrastructure project. Roles include system safety engineers and support, a RAM manager, an interoperability lead, an environmental manager, earthing and bonding and electromagnetic compatibility engineers, a cyber security specialist, a software requirements manager, and a testing and commissioning manager. The personnel will support systems assurance, safety, interoperability, environmental compliance, cyber security, software management, and testing and commissioning across the project lifecycle. This is specialist engineering consultancy and personnel supply, rather than a requirement to build the railway. The stated delivery area is the United Kingdom, alongside a broad range of other international locations.

The buyer invited offers through a tender for a single described requirement, with no lots set out. The published value range is £1 million to £2.5 million. The contract period is 1 February 2027 to 1 February 2029. The submission deadline set by the buyer was 11 November 2026 at 17:06 UTC. No enquiry deadline or evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement details. The material describes an agency supply arrangement for multiple specialist roles, but gives no further procedural detail about the route used to invite or assess offers. The stated suitability information says the opportunity is not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This requirement is aimed at recruitment and staffing agencies with established access to specialist rail systems and assurance professionals. Agencies need to show experience supplying technical resources to complex infrastructure projects and the ability to provide suitably qualified people with relevant rail industry expertise. The range of roles calls for depth across systems safety, RAM management, interoperability, environmental compliance, earthing and bonding, electromagnetic compatibility, cyber security, software requirements, and testing and commissioning. Suppliers must be able to resource a major high-speed rail project across its lifecycle, rather than provide a single narrow specialism. The stated non-suitability for SMEs indicates that the buyer considers the opportunity to require capacity beyond what smaller suppliers are expected to offer independently.
