## Summary

SE Trains Limited is seeking to extend a contract for a rail operations system under the industry category of IT services, primarily focused on consulting, software development, internet and support. This extension, relevant to public transport services by railways, is to ensure continuity of service while migrating from the old system to a new release and possibly integrating further unsupported systems for train crew rostering. The contract, running for three years with an optional extension of two additional years, covers regions including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. The procurement stage is at the award stage, with the contract having been signed on 21st March 2025 following a limited procurement method due to the critical operational and safety requirements.

This tender creates significant opportunities for technology firms specialising in rail operations and IT services. Companies with expertise in software solutions for operationally critical transport systems and migratory technologies would be well-suited to compete. By offering continuity and potential system evolutions, this contract can enable firms to establish a strong business presence in the public transport industry, working closely with a major operator like SE Trains Limited. The limited procurement method suggests that established suppliers with a track record in maintaining and enhancing large-scale rail operation systems will have a competitive edge.

## Notice

This contract extension is being entered into to provide SE Trains Limited with continuity of service for operationally critical rail operations systems, including the migration from the supplier's outgoing system to the new release. The contract will also have an option to migrate another unsupported system for train crew, drivers and other colleague rostering to the supplier's software solution for this. The contract is being extended to provide sufficient time to allow SE Trains to finalise its specification for these services, compliantly tender and implement a solution.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Authority currently has a live contract with the supplier for the provision of rail operations services and intends to directly award an extension to this contract, combining an option for migrating safety and operationally critical rostering to the supplier's software solution. The duration of this contract extension shall have a term of three years, with two further years permitted as optional extensions to be exercised at the discretion of the Authority based on the readiness of any replacement solution.

### Procurement Information

The Authority is committed to completing a compliant procurement for the provision of rail operations systems but does not currently have a viable technical specification. Due to the operational and safety critical nature of the services, it is determined that an extension of the existing contract arrangements should be made to provide sufficient time to run a compliant tender, develop, test and implement a new system safely into the Authority's operations. The duration of this contract extension has been determined with these factors in mind, with optional extensions to provide contingency in the event that implementation takes longer than envisaged.
