UK13 - Dynamic Market Intention Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rail Safety and Standards Board Limited operates RISQS, a dynamic market for rail-sector suppliers. The requirement is geotechnical monitoring: remote monitoring equipment, alarm devices, system configuration, technical support, 24-hour, 365-day monitoring, training and technical advice for signalling boxes and control centres. The work is intended for utilities and transport-sector organisations across the UK, with participating buyers including Network Rail, Transport for London, Govia Thameslink Railway, c2c, South Western Railway, London North Eastern Railway, Merseyrail, Transport for Wales Rail, Transport UK East Anglia and Network Rail High Speed. The procurement is classed as works and covers earthmoving and geotechnical engineering activity. RISQS manages supplier qualification and provides participating utility buyers with access to approved suppliers for regulated rail procurements.

This procurement has been awarded and the dynamic market is active. It used an open procedure under the Utilities Regulations 2016, with contracts awarded on price. The framework market began on 25 February 2025 and has no stated fixed end date. Four active Geotechnical Monitoring Framework awards were made to Findlay Irvine Ltd, Protect Rail & Civil Engineering Ltd, Sencieve Ltd and Track Engineering Construction Services Limited. Their contracts were signed on 1 December 2025. Six bids were recorded for the requirement, all from SMEs, and submissions were electronic. The framework is open to subscribing utility buyers operating in the transport sector. Suppliers join RISQS through registration, a questionnaire, membership payment and selection of the relevant product or service codes. The requirement's single lot is recorded as cancelled, although the associated awards and contracts are active.

This opportunity shows established demand across the UK rail industry for suppliers combining geotechnical monitoring with dependable operational support. Businesses best placed for comparable requirements will be able to supply and configure remote monitoring equipment and alarms, provide continuous monitoring, interpret or respond to data, and support signalling boxes and control centres. Credibility depends on completing RISQS registration and pre-qualification, selecting the relevant RICCL codes and maintaining the required membership. Depending on the products or services offered and the buyer's requirements, suppliers may need valid certification and an independent audit covering health, safety, environmental and quality systems. The four successful suppliers demonstrate that SMEs can participate. Firms should also be prepared to provide training and technical advice and to meet transport-utility assurance expectations.
