## Summary

The recent procurement process by Govia Thameslink Railway Limited (GTR), located in London, focuses on acquiring an energy metering application for on-train energy billing. Classified under the utilities special regime, this direct award tender was completed using the procurement method due to the unique compatibility provided by Atkins Realis Rail & Transit Limited's product offering, compatible with GTR's fleets. The direct award contract, valued at £689,472, covers the provision of metering instruments and spans from 16 May 2025 to 31 March 2028. This tender is part of maintaining compliance with Network Rail's billing interfaces, ensuring GTR avoids additional costs from billing discrepancies.

This contract presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in energy metering technology and related goods to explore similar contracts in the rail industry. Companies with expertise in developing compatible systems for transportation fleets, particularly those adept at leveraging intellectual property for direct procurement processes, would find such tenders appropriate for their skillset. Although Atkins Realis Rail & Transit Limited secured this specific contract, it underscores the demand for advanced technical solutions within the railway sector, opening avenues for innovation and partnership among similar businesses.
