## Summary

Network Rail Infrastructure Limited has initiated a tender process for the development and implementation of an Integrated Learning System (ILS) to enhance learning capabilities for approximately 120,000 users. This includes both internal (43,000) and external (80,000) stakeholders within the rail industry. The project, titled "Integrated Learning Systems," falls under the procurement category of training software and services, and is aligned with a legal basis set out in UK legislation. This procurement is based on a Competitive Flexible Procedure, designed to facilitate technical dialogue with selected vendors, and the procurement process allows for selective participation with an emphasis on negotiation to secure the most advantageous terms. The primary procurement stage currently is tender, with an expression of interest deadline on 2nd November 2025, and potential contract awards by April 2026. The project, based in the United Kingdom, has a projected start date in May 2026 with a minimum term of five years, extendable up to a total of seven years.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in training software development, content management, educational platforms, and related IT services. With a competitive budget of £15.7 million (gross amounting to £18.84 million), the contract beckons companies with expertise in creating scalable and secure digital learning environments. Business growth potential is substantial, especially for enterprises skilled in devising innovative training solutions that support varied learning needs and offer seamless user experiences across networks. Competitive attributes such as an established background in technical and commercial software solutions, ability to manage complex data migrations, and readiness to engage in constructive procurement dialogues are vital for potential success. The opportunity is particularly suitable for SMEs capable of delivering bespoke solutions and who seek to expand their portfolio within the realm of public authority contracts, specifically in the realm of large-scale educational systems.

## Notice

The successful supplier(s) will be responsible for the implementation, operation, and ongoing support of a Training Learner System to serve approximately 120,000 users, including 43,000 internal and 80,000 external users. This new platform will replace the existing learning systems and will introduce enhanced capabilities to support the organisation and the wider rail industry. The platform must deliver for both internal and external stakeholders, ensuring seamless learning experiences at scale. Additionally, the solution must support a content library accessible to 5,000 users and provide monetisation options for industry partners. Key deliverables include: * Deployment of a learning system within NR's IT environment, ensuring security and scalability. We understand that the market has converged to some extent with respect to the distinctions between learning management systems and learning experience platforms, so we are deliberately agnostic in our terminology. * Seamless and engaging learning experiences for all users, supporting diverse learning needs. Diversity of learning needs includes different learner abilities, different learning environments, and different accessibility requirements. * Ensure that the new system can function at peak capacity with maximum number of concurrent users that the system can realistically sustain before requests per minute start to decline and response time starts to increase. * Tenancy, instances, permissions, and access for rail industry partners, offering access to standardised or bespoke training content with built-in charging mechanisms. * Access to diverse content libraries, enabling professional and personal development. This includes (but is not limited to) professional development material, soft skills development, technology, project management and leadership skills. * Existing bespoke content migration, transferring over 1,000 eLearning materials to the new system. We expect the supplier to provide a content library and complete a mapping/triage exercise against existing content. * A centralised catalogue of all Network Rail training offerings, including content libraries, bespoke digital learning, facilitated courses, innovation (e.g. digital simulations, VR). * Effective in-platform communication channels to engage and support learners. Network Rail are open to exploring different in-platform communication features, but expect the whole suite of market norms to be available for consideration (e.g. in-platform communication, between platform communication such as email/teams, push notifications to mobile devices). * Data insights, leveraging statistical and predictive modelling for decision-making. We seek a view from the market as to the 'art of the possible' that can be deployed out of the box and what can be developed over time. * Systematic use of permissions, automation, and workflows (which could include AI) to minimise process and content duplication, and to surface content to learners that is relevant, customised, and personalised. * Implementation and suitable change management to deploy the system within Network Rail technical, procedural and people environment. Implementation should be supported by best practice and lessons learned from other client projects to embed the system and ensure adoption. * Effective training, upskilling and handover for internal support teams so they can confidently support the business. * An intuitive and modern user interface, serving as a dynamic platform for learning content. * Personalised or customised learning pathways, tailored to individual user needs through data-driven recommendations. * The system should support the delivery, booking, administration, tracking and scheduling for inperson and virtual training events using off the shelf capabilities. This initiative will not only replace the existing technology but also introduce new capabilities to enhance learning accessibility, engagement, and efficiency across the organisation and its partners.
