## Summary

The procurement involves Network Rail Infrastructure Limited as the buying organisation, focusing on the "Transpennine Route Upgrade Programme – York Electrical Control Room Relocation." Situated in London, United Kingdom, this award falls under the utilities industry category. The procurement concluded with a contract awarded to Siemens Mobility Limited on 18 December 2025, following a direct award process under the UK Procurement Act 2023. The significant dates include contract commencement on 12 January 2026, lasting until 31 December 2026.

This tender offers considerable growth opportunities for firms with expertise in integrated control systems and infrastructure development. Siemen's unique role reflects the high demand for specialist skills in electrical and SCADA system integration within the railway sector. Businesses possessing proprietary technologies or holding exclusive rights related to such systems would find similar tenders highly attractive. This direct award underscores the necessity for suppliers to develop specialised capabilities and acquire intellectual property that can strategically position them within the transportation and infrastructure sectors. As technology continues to evolve, organisations with expertise in complex systems integration and large-scale engineering projects will be well-placed to compete for similar high-value contracts.

## Notice

Network Rail is to award a contract via direct award under the Procurement Act 2023 to Siemens Mobility Limited. The new TRU electrified route will need to be controlled from the York ECR and the existing integrated electrical control centre (IECC) cannot be expanded any further. This project is required to relocate the control room from its current location to a new proposed location. RailCom Manager is the existing Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system within the current York IECC and has been installed since 2013. The newly installed TRU electrical infrastructure will need to feed into the new, York ECR and align itself with the SCADA system operating in that location (RailCom).

### Procurement Information

Siemens holds exclusive intellectual property rights for the system's design, control software, and technical documentation. Since its commissioning, Siemens has provided ongoing maintenance and technical support, ensuring compliance with all safety and performance standards. To maintain system integrity and reliability. Siemens Mobility Limited possesses unique expertise required to integrate the RailCom software with operational power, telecoms, and associated support systems. Due to these exclusive rights and specialist knowledge, Siemens is the only supplier capable of delivering both the hardware and software components efficiently and in full compliance with operational requirements. The design for the new location requires significant ergonomics input and stakeholder consultation work that can only be undertaken by those with a deep understanding of the RailCom system, including its technical constraints, and operational impacts. Siemens Mobility Limited, as the system owner and integrator, is uniquely positioned to lead this activity.
