## Summary

Network Rail Infrastructure Limited, a central government public authority in London, has initiated a tender process for the administration of its Private Medical Healthcare Trust Scheme. The procurement is for administrative healthcare services under the CPV code 75122000 and covers all regions and routes within the UK. The procurement stage is active and currently in the tender phase, with submissions due by 30th June 2026. A supplier engagement day is scheduled for 21st November 2025, as part of the planning phase. The contract period will span from 1st April 2027 to 31st March 2031, with options for further renewal. The procurement method employed is an open, competitive flexible procedure that will evaluate bids based on technical and commercial elements through a qualification envelope.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses skilled in administrative healthcare services to enter or expand their presence within the public sector. Companies capable of providing scalable and flexible services to meet the specific requirements of Network Rail’s private healthcare benefits for approximately 13,900 employees would be well-suited to compete. The procurement process, allowing wide access through an open procedure, encourages participation from SMEs and VCSEs, creating a pathway for diverse organisations to contribute to essential services and benefit from steady, long-term contractual engagements with a well-regarded public entity like Network Rail.

## Notice

Network Rail requires a supplier to administer its private healthcare trust offering to its management grade employees (Bands 1-4). High level requirements are: 1. Supplier to administer Network Rail's contractual private medical healthcare benefit to management grade employees (Bands 1-4) and controller grades. This is approximately 13,900 employees. 2. This is to be a Healthcare Trust scheme. This will be through a Trust Deed, as is being used now, not a Master Trust. 3. The scheme must be administered with a specific stop loss (SSL) agreement set at appropriate levels. 4. The scheme must offer senior leaders family cover and for everyone else the ability to add on partners and dependants at an additional cost. There should be four levels of cover: Single, Married, Single Parent Family and Family. 5. The scheme must offer clinical pathways to treatment without a need for a General Practitioner (GP) referral, such as (but not limited to) certain types of cancer, physiotherapy, osteopathy, and mental health support. 6. The scheme rates should offer affordability to all Network Rail employees, taking into consideration the demographics within the organization. 7. The scheme must have geographic coverage across Great Britain to cover all routes and regions Network Rail operates in. 8. The number of employees utilizing the service may vary depending on how the business develops; as such, the services must have flexibility to be scaled at short notice. 9. As a public sector organization, Network Rail abides by the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) and takes its duties to eliminate discrimination, advance equality of opportunity, and foster good relations between different people when carrying out its activities very seriously. We require all our suppliers, as representatives of the company, to adhere to the same standards in everyday practices.
