## Summary

Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd has completed a public procurement process for the supply of anti-ice products, essential for maintaining the safety and efficiency of their electrified 3rd Rail network. This competitive procurement was conducted through a selective, negotiated procedure with prior call for competition, focusing on chemical products. The tender consisted of two lots: one for anti-ice products effective for a minimum of 24 hours, and another for those effective for more than 24 hours. The procurement stage is now in the award phase, with Kilfrost Limited being awarded the contract for the first lot. Key details include that the tender spanned the entire United Kingdom and had critical dates such as the award notice published on 21 August 2024, and the contract signed on 22 July 2024, valuing GBP 3,520,000.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses operating in the chemical products industry, particularly those with expertise in developing specialised anti-icing materials. Companies capable of delivering high-quality, durable anti-ice chemicals can stand to benefit by associating with Network Rail, a major player in the railway services sector. The procurement process not only underscores the importance of technical excellence and sustainability but also highlights a substantial financial investment, creating a lucrative growth avenue for suppliers who can meet and exceed the outlined requirements.

## Notice

Network Rail is procuring anti-ice material to be applied to the conductor rail on Network Rail's electrified 3rd Rail network, using its fleet of specialist rail vehicles (MPVs and SITTs). The main reason for this procurement activity is to maintain track safety as anti-icing fluid will prevent the adhesion of ice to the rail head and allow electricity to flow to the collector shoe of passing rail vehicles.
