## Summary

Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd has awarded an active contract titled "ETCS Spares Agreement for NMT" for the procurement of spares for the European Train Control System deployed within Network Rail's Infrastructure Monitoring fleet, specifically in the New Measurement Train. The procurement falls under the goods category and uses a limited procurement method, negotiated without the publication of a contract notice. The procurement aims to establish a framework with the OEM for the foreseeable life of the NMT until 31/03/2029, allowing the purchase of spares for Network Rail's stores in case parts are not covered by warranties.

This procurement process by Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd offers opportunities for suppliers of electronic parts and railway and tramway locomotives and rolling stock. Businesses well-suited to compete in this tender include suppliers specializing in the European Train Control System components and maintenance services. The contract, with an active status, has been awarded to GROUND TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS UK LIMITED and is valued at £420,217.67 GBP, signed on 9th August 2023. Suppliers interested in long-term partnerships and framework agreements for supplying spares to Network Rail may find this opportunity beneficial for business growth.

## Notice

The procurement is for spares for the ETCS (European Train Control System) deployed within Network Rails' Infrastructure Monitoring fleet, specifically in the NMT (New Measurement Train). A direct award framework to the OEM of the parts is planned due to a lack of compatibility of other manufacturer's parts.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

A series of electronic parts are required for spares to be deployed with Network Rail's NMT (New Measurement Train) for ETCS (European Train Control System) functionality. A fixed number of guaranteed spares is not known, estimates however have been produced with the view to setting up a framework with the OEM for the supply of these.

### Procurement Information

The current ETCS (European Train Control Systems) in the Network Rail NMT (New Measurement Train) is of a Thales Ground Transportation Systems Ltd design using their parts. A spares contract does not exist for the spares for this system, so Network Rail wishes to establish a framework for the foreseeable life of the NMT (initial term until 31/03/2029 with two 1 year extension options). This would allow the purchase of spares for Network Rails stores for use in the event parts are not covered by warranties. Whilst other suppliers of ETCS systems exist in the market, Network Rail technical experts have confirmed their parts are not compatible with current systems, therefore a direct award to the current OEM of this framework is required.
