## Summary

Leicester City Council has completed the procurement process for obtaining rail-industry specific advice and design proposals for improvements to Leicester Station. The contract, titled "FEW1325 - Leicester Station Demolition - Basic Asset Protection Agreement," falls under the category of research and development services and related consultancy services (CPV code: 73000000). The procurement was conducted through a direct award method, with Network Rail as the sole supplier due to their unique capability to provide the necessary services. Key dates include the award date on 12th February 2024 and the contract period from 26th February 2024 to 25th September 2024. The project is located in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in rail-industry consultancy and asset protection services, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive design and review expertise. SMEs and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises) are encouraged to engage in future opportunities of this nature. Network Rail's involvement underscores the importance of possessing specialised knowledge and experience in rail-sector projects, making this a prime contracting opportunity for firms with a proven track record in similar fields.

## Notice

The Council needs to obtain rail-industry specific advice from Network Rail to inform design proposals for improvements to Leicester Station. Whilst Network Rail are providing design advice services and the commission therefore constitutes a public procurement, they are the sole provider of the service the Council requires and the contract to procure the service must therefore be a direct award to Network Rail. Network Rail are required to review and approve documentation prepared by the demolition contractor as asset owner prior to any works being undertaken. This can only be undertaken by Network Rail under the Basic Asset Protection Agreement.
