## Summary

The procurement process led by NETWORK RAIL (HIGH SPEED) LIMITED focuses on the supply and ongoing technical support of spares and equipment for Vossloh Cogifer systems. These systems are integral to the High Speed 1 (HS1) infrastructure maintained by the company, located in London, United Kingdom. The tender, classified under the industry category of railway equipment, has reached the award stage with a direct award procurement method. This decision was based on the proprietary knowledge and technical expertise of the supplier, Vossloh Switch Systems France, which is also the OEM. The contract, valued at €46,080,000, will commence on 2nd January 2026 and conclude on 1st January 2034. The procurement is part of a closed framework agreement under a special regime for utilities. It was announced on 24th November 2025. 

This tender presents a significant opportunity for railway industry-related businesses, particularly those specialising in railway equipment and technical support services. Companies with existing expertise in servicing high-speed rail systems and capacity to provide highly specialised parts will thrive. This contract also involves engineering guidance on asset renewal planning and independent technical investigations, offering substantial growth prospects for businesses adept at technical support and the provision of revised maintenance instructions. Enterprises that align with these requirements might find this to be a fruitful avenue for expansion and long-term collaboration with NETWORK RAIL (HIGH SPEED) LIMITED. The involvement in training and engineering review workshops further underscores the potential for ongoing professional development and knowledge exchange within the sector.

## Notice

This procurement covers the supply and ongoing technical support of spares and equipment for the Vossloh Cogifer systems installed on the High Speed 1 (HS1) infrastructure maintained by Network Rail High Speed. The appointed supplier will provide a maintained and up-to-date price list, confirmed lead times for all spare parts and components, and act as the single point of contact for all equipment-related enquiries. The scope includes the management of safety case changes, the issue of updated As Built Records, and the provision of revised maintenance instructions where required. The supplier will deliver technical support services including updated user and maintenance manuals, engineering guidance on asset renewal planning, and independent technical investigations. The contract also includes the provision of training for Network Rail High Speed personnel and participation in six-monthly engineering review workshops to ensure continued system alignment, performance, and asset assurance. This procurement relates specifically to Vossloh Cogifer equipment and associated support services and does not extend to wider signalling or infrastructure works.

### Procurement Information

Owing to the supplier's exclusive role as both the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the original designer of the system, they possess proprietary knowledge, technical expertise, and intellectual property rights that are essential for the production and integration of the required components. No other supplier has the capability to manufacture or supply products that meet the exact technical specifications, performance requirements, and compatibility standards necessary for operation on the existing high-speed line. The products must seamlessly interface with existing equipment and control systems designed by the same OEM, ensuring safety, reliability, and operational efficiency. Changing suppliers would result in equipment that differs from, or is incompatible with, the existing system, leading to significant technical difficulties in both operation and maintenance. In accordance with Clause 7 of Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act, this situation justifies a direct award to the existing supplier, as replacement by another supplier would cause disproportionate technical and operational challenges.
