Summary of the contracting process

Network Rail Infrastructure Limited procured CEFA structures examination services for railway assets in the Great Western Region. The work covers inspection, examination and reporting on structural assets, supporting assessment of defects, structural integrity, maintenance needs and repair requirements. Its purpose is to help maintain the safety, reliability and longevity of the rail network and prevent infrastructure failures. The procurement is for services in the building surveying field, classified under CPV 71315300. The requirement relates to CP7 Year 3 and was arranged as a call-off from a competitive framework. Xeiad Limited is the appointed supplier for the workbank, which is associated with the Western CEFA structures examination requirement. The buyer is Network Rail Infrastructure Limited, a central government public authority operating in the utilities sector.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective procedure under a framework call-off mechanism. Competition for this call-off was not reopened. The award was made to Xeiad Limited on 7 August 2026. The awarded value is £5,277,124.57 excluding VAT, or £6,332,549.48 including VAT. The contract period runs from 13 August 2026 to 31 March 2027, with signature scheduled for 13 August 2026. The requirement was above the applicable threshold. The process used one completed lot, covering the Western CEFA structures examination call-off. The award is for building surveying services delivered across the United Kingdom, with the described operational focus on structural assets in the Great Western Region.

This award indicates demand for suppliers able to examine railway structures systematically and produce reliable technical reports for an infrastructure owner. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in structural asset inspection and examination, defect identification, condition assessment and reporting. It would also need to understand how examination findings inform maintenance and repair decisions, while working to the safety and reliability expectations of a railway environment. Relevant experience should demonstrate the ability to manage a substantial workbank across a defined rail region, coordinate examinations of multiple assets and deliver consistent outputs within a fixed programme. Familiarity with Network Rail’s framework call-off route and the requirements of CEFA structures examinations would strengthen a supplier’s position when comparable work returns to market.
