Notice Information
Notice Title
Provision of LUL ERU Services
Notice Description
Provision of a 24/7 call-out emergency service with blue light capability to ensure rapid response attendance of fully equipped emergency response vehicles and railway infrastructure maintenance trained resources at both major and minor emergency incidents along the railway within the London M25 area to support with derailments, terrorist attacks and fatalities to major railway infrastructure damage (track/ signalling), along with day-to-day operational services that ensure the fastest response times to enable Network Rail to keep the railway moving for our passengers.
Procurement Information
A Transparency notice was issued which allowed potential suppliers to approach us should they be able to provide the same service that London Underground provides to Network Rail with their Emergency Response Units. A Contract Award Notice was subsequently published and following the mandatory standstill period no other supplier submitted a challenge to this procurement which leads us to confirm our belief that at this time, the required service is bespoke to railway operations and that only LUL have the resources and appropriate competencies available to Network Rail to respond within minutes of an emergency incident occurring.
