UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Thameslink Southern Great Northern Limited (TSGN), a public undertaking, intends to procure services for a stop and crew service. The requirement covers software and related development services for scheduling, time accounting, human resources and enterprise resource planning. In practical terms, the service is intended to support the planning and management of railway stock and crew activities through an integrated software solution. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The procurement is organised as a single service requirement, with the work relating to stock and crew operations rather than the supply of physical equipment. Suppliers should therefore be relevant software businesses, systems integrators or service providers able to support workforce and operational scheduling in a rail environment.

This procurement is at the planning stage: TSGN has stated an intention to procure, but this record does not constitute an invitation to tender. The buyer has planned preliminary market engagement, described as PME only, with an indicative engagement date of 11 September 2026. The requirement is above the applicable threshold and has an estimated gross value of £6,000,000. It is divided into one lot. The expected contract period is from 1 December 2026 to 1 December 2031. The procurement concerns services and is subject to the Procurement Act 2023. Businesses should treat the dates and contract period as the buyer’s current planning expectations while using the engagement stage to understand the developing requirement.

The requirement should suit suppliers that develop, configure, integrate or support operational scheduling and workforce-management systems. Relevant capabilities include railway stock and crew planning, staff rostering, time recording, payroll or human-resources data, enterprise resource planning, and software development. Businesses with experience connecting these functions into a single service may be well placed when the requirement reaches the market. Specialist scheduling-software providers, enterprise software companies, rail technology firms and systems integrators could all find a relevant area of work, provided they can address both software functionality and associated development services. The planned market engagement gives capable suppliers an opportunity to prepare their understanding of the operational problem and the systems expertise they can offer.
