    "description": "What we are doing: The Network Rail Southern Region Stations teams have a requirement to engage external security testing companies to enter into a 5 year framework contract to deliver covert tests across seven of our managed stations within the Southern Region. The contract will deliver tests at London Bridge, Waterloo, Charing Cross, Victoria, Clapham Junction, Canon Street, and Guildford Stations. (the contract may also incorporate St Pancras at a later stage and may be extended to retail units and platforms). This program is designed to test the quality of security searches at Network Rail managed stations and provide assurance that the security product we deliver at our stations is compliant with the National Rail Security Programme (NRSP). It will also highlight any potential weaknesses or trends that we can address proactively to better enhance our levels of security. The contract will include placed bag tests, hidden bag tests, suspicious behavioural tests and penetration tests (accessing restricted areas). The tests will be conducted on an independent and anonymous basis. The Supplier will comply with the BTP covert testing protocol and have been consulted with the DFT Covert testing team. The tests are not designed to be conducted on any areas of the stations that the security checks are not carried out on. Why we are doing this: The testing will offer an impartial assurance assessment of our security regime within our stations and potentially identify any new areas of vulnerability and enable us to be able to upskill and take preventative measures, where applicable, to better deliver our security product. At this stage, Network Rail is seeking to gain a better understanding of the Market for these works. If you have experience in delivering Security Assurance Testing as described above, please contact Kishan Rajapaksa at - Kishan.rajapaksa@networkrail.co.uk Please respond by Midday Friday 6th January. A market engagement event will be held on Microsoft Teams on 13/01/2023. All supplier responding to this PIN shall be invited to attend. PLEASE NOTE: This is not an official expression of interest. A Contract Notice will be issued at a later date to which all suppliers will be able to respond, whether or not they responded to this PIN.",
