Lot Information
Lot 1
This is an innovation-based project where suppliers will be expected to design a product in line with the new Network Rail specification. Network Rail requires a bespoke product as identified in Specification No. RMVP-SP-0097 - Issue 3, in order to meet UK and EU regulations regarding Health and Safety, Environmental and ORR requirements. A single contract agreement for all 929 units will be awarded following full completion of the Network Rail Product Testing process which will provide Business as Usual (BAU) purchase of the units. This will consist of a preliminary Product Acceptance certification that will provide the relevant Network Rail Department with authority to purchase trial units, which are then to be taken forward for full Product Acceptance trialling (an estimated 6-month period). Following successful completion of the trial, the product will receive its full Product Approval certification which will allow for the purchase of BAU units nationally. Network Rail reserves the right to increase or decrease the indicative 929 unit total by up to +/-20% at any stage of the procurement process. Guidance on the management of the Product Acceptance service, practices to be followed, authorities and policy is provided within the Tender Pack. This document is to support the successful delivery of a professional, effective, and transparent Product Acceptance service.

"reviewDetails": "Network Rail will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point when the information on the award of the contract, is communicated to tenderers. Applications/tenderers who are unsuccessful shall be informed by Network Rail as soon as possible after the decision has been made as to the reasons why the applicant/tenderer was unsuccessful. If an appeal regarding the award of the contract has not been successfully resolved, the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by breach of the rules to take legal action. Any such action must be brought within the applicable limitation period. Where a contract has not been entered into, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order for any documents to be amended. The purpose of the standstill period referred to above is to allow the parties to apply to the Courts to review the award decision before the contract is entered into."
