Summary of the contracting process

Network Rail Infrastructure Limited has initiated a direct award procurement process for application hosting and technical support services related to the Asbestos Risk Management System, Landlord's Consent, and Retail Certificate Collection. The procurement falls under the utilities special regime, with a focus on IT services. Located in London, this procurement is at the award stage with completion expected soon. Claritas Solutions Ltd has been identified as the supplier, benefiting from an option for hosting and technical support extension. Key dates include contract commencement on 1 April 2026 and potential discussions to extend services for up to three years. The gross contract value stands at GBP 594,400.81, eliciting interest from SMEs due to its above-threshold classification.

This tender represents a significant business opportunity, especially for SMEs in IT consulting, software development, and support services.
