## Summary

The procurement process completed by Tees Valley Combined Authority involves the direct award of a contract to Network Rail Infrastructure Limited for the development of South Bank Rail Station, focusing on early contractor involvement and design. The contract, identified as TVCA-PROC-0595a, falls under the services industry category, specifically railway engineering services. The project is situated in the UKC12 region, with Darlington as a notable postal area. The procurement stage has reached completion with the contract period spanning from 17th December 2025 to 15th December 2026, with an option to extend six months if required. The contract was awarded on the basis of Network Rail's position as asset owner, enabling a direct award method under the legal framework of the UK's UKPGA 2023/54. The gross contract value is approximately £390,512.40, with a base amount of £325,427.00.

This contractual opportunity fosters significant business growth, particularly for large firms experienced in railway and engineering services. Network Rail Infrastructure Limited, as the sole supplier, benefits directly by solidifying its scope within the rail engineering sector in the North East of England. The focus on early contractor involvement offers specialised companies the chance to influence project design and execution phases, leading to potential future collaborations. Nevertheless, companies with unique intellectual property or significant expertise in railway engineering processes may find the procurement method rationale — concerning intellectual property and exclusive rights — advantageous for similar future engagements.
