UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Network Rail Infrastructure Limited procured a managed service for its East Midlands Route covering geofencing-enabled devices and Virtual Worksite Marker Boards (WSMBs). The requirement combines the hire of devices with implementation, programme management, operation and ongoing support. It is a safety and railway-worksite technology service, with related telematics and safety-fencing elements. Delivery is across the United Kingdom, specifically for Network Rail’s East Midlands Route. The service is intended to provide geofencing and virtual worksite marking capability, supported through deployment and day-to-day operation. This is a single service requirement for a central-government public authority operating in the utilities sector, and is relevant to suppliers combining connected-device provision with managed operational and support services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 4 August 2026 following a selective procedure under a framework agreement; the call-off was not competitive. Tended Limited was awarded the single lot at £445,041 excluding VAT, or £534,049 including VAT. The contract period runs from 31 August 2026 to 31 August 2027, covering the stated 12-month service period. A future contract-signature milestone was scheduled for 6 August 2026. The award covers services classified as telematics and safety fencing. Network Rail Infrastructure Limited is the buyer, and Tended Limited is the selected supplier. The opportunity was above the relevant threshold and relates to Network Rail’s East Midlands Route.

This award demonstrates demand for a supplier able to deliver an end-to-end railway worksite safety technology service rather than a standalone product. A credible competitor would need to provide or source geofencing-enabled devices and Virtual Worksite Marker Boards, manage their deployment, and operate and support them throughout a sustained service period. Relevant strengths include telematics capability, reliable connected-device management, implementation planning, programme management and responsive technical support. Experience of safety-critical environments, worksite protection or railway operations would help a supplier demonstrate that its equipment and processes can be deployed safely and maintained in operational conditions. The requirement also indicates that Network Rail values an integrated managed service combining equipment hire with ongoing support.
