Summary of the contracting process

Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd procured an Assurance Module for its existing Microsoft Power Platform-based Safety Event System. The requirement covered the design, build, integration, testing and deployment of Phase 5 of the system, together with associated reporting, analytics, data, cloud platform and implementation services. The work is a software and information systems requirement, delivered for Network Rail’s operations across the United Kingdom. The module is intended to enhance the existing cloud-hosted safety event platform rather than provide a standalone replacement. Relevant suppliers include Microsoft Power Platform specialists with experience of Power Apps, Power Automate and Power BI, alongside the ability to deliver dashboards, reporting, data services, cloud hosting integration and implementation within an established enterprise environment.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to KPMG LLP. Network Rail used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, through G-Cloud 14 Lot 1 for cloud hosting. The stated route was a direct award after a framework search identified KPMG as the only supplier meeting the defined requirements. Evaluation was based on price. The contract value is £997,850. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and is active. The procurement concerned a single requirement, although the recorded lot status is cancelled. The award records one bid and names KPMG as the selected supplier. The arrangement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Network Rail for specialist enhancement of an established Microsoft Power Platform safety system, at enterprise scale and through a compliant cloud framework route. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable capability across Azure or comparable cloud hosting, Microsoft Power Platform, Power Apps, Power Automate and Power BI. It would also need to design and build modules that integrate safely with an existing platform, manage data and reporting, develop dashboards and analytics, and provide robust testing, deployment and implementation support. The buyer’s stated selection process indicates that relevant technical breadth and framework eligibility are important, as is the ability to evidence delivery of integrated cloud, application and assurance services for a major infrastructure organisation.
