## Summary

Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd has completed a procurement process aimed at awarding a contract for the provision, maintenance, and operation of MFS+/UMH plant, crucial for railway engineering services. The contract, valued at £3,827,189, has been awarded to Rhomberg Sersa UK Limited for its use primarily in the South West Region, addressing single line scenarios vital for track renewals. The procurement was conducted via a limited procedure without prior publication, valid on technical grounds, as outlined in September 2025, with the contract signed on 30th September 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth for SME-sized businesses specializing in railway maintenance and associated services. Rhomberg Sersa's existing capabilities, particularly in operations where technical constraints limit competition, make it well-suited for such opportunities. The contract's potential renewal option ensures continued engagement, fostering a stable business environment for suppliers operating within the niche market of railway plant hire and maintenance services. Businesses with expertise in delivering comprehensive solutions in constrained operational environments will find this contract particularly beneficial for expanding their service offerings.
