Summary of the contracting process

Network Rail Infrastructure Limited procured specialist fabrication of plastic bearers supplied by Sekisui for the Conwy Tubes track renewal. The requirement combines fabrication of railway track materials with support for track renewal. The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom; no more precise delivery place is identified. The work is categorised as services, covering railway-track maintenance and railway materials.

The procurement is complete and Bottomley Site Services Limited was selected through a direct award. The award was dated 15 October 2026. Its value is £700,000 excluding VAT (£840,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 27 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Network Rail justified the direct award on the grounds that the bearer materials require a specialist and Bottomley Site Services was the only supplier in its approved Category Directory able to carry out the fabrication. The procurement was arranged as one lot, identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No separate scored evaluation criteria are stated.

This requirement demonstrates demand from Network Rail for specialist fabrication of plastic railway bearers using materials supplied by Sekisui, as part of a track renewal project. A credible competitor would need the technical ability to work with these materials and deliver the specified bearer fabrication to support railway track renewal. The buyer’s rationale indicates that being recognised on its approved Category Directory was decisive in this procurement, alongside specialist capability. Suppliers in this market should therefore assess whether they can meet Network Rail’s approval requirements as well as demonstrate relevant fabrication expertise. The requirement is focused on railway infrastructure materials and track renewal, rather than general fabrication work.
