Summary of the contracting process

Thameslink Southern Great Northern Limited (TSGN), a public undertaking, sought a stop and crew service for its operations across the United Kingdom. The requirement is a service centred on software and related development: scheduling work, recording time, supporting human-resources processes and providing enterprise resource-planning functionality. It is intended for suppliers able to provide an integrated service rather than a standalone scheduling tool, covering the operational management of stops and crew. The buyer is based in London, while delivery is described nationally across the UK. This is therefore relevant to workforce-management software providers, enterprise systems suppliers, software developers and service integrators with transport or other operational scheduling experience.

The procurement reached tender: TSGN invited suppliers to submit offers through its electronic sourcing process. It was a single-lot services procurement with a gross estimated value of £6,000,000. The intended contract period was 1 December 2026 to 1 December 2031. The tender was subsequently withdrawn and the associated award process cancelled. The stated reason is that the notice descriptor was incorrect: it referred to “Stop and Crew” but should have said “Stock and Crew”. TSGN said the notice would be reissued immediately with the new descriptor. The opportunity should therefore be treated as terminated in its published form, with any replacement procurement considered a separate opportunity.

This requirement suits suppliers with a mature workforce-management or enterprise software platform, particularly systems that combine scheduling, crew or resource planning, time recording, human-resources functions and enterprise resource planning. Strong candidates are likely to be able to configure or develop software around operational workflows, integrate multiple business functions and support a substantial organisational deployment. Experience delivering reliable systems for transport, logistics, rail, aviation, field services or other time-critical operations would be commercially relevant. The service also suits software houses and systems integrators able to provide implementation, development and ongoing operational support, rather than suppliers offering only generic consultancy or an isolated software module.
