## Summary

Network Rail Infrastructure Limited is currently managing a tender for "Insurance Brokerage Services - PME," which seeks to appoint a broker to oversee the insurance and risk management programme across the Network Rail group and its evolution into Great British Railways entities. This tender falls under the "Financial and insurance services" industry category and is managed from their office in London. Presently in the "tender" stage, the procurement follows a competitive flexible procedure through a selective procurement method. The submission deadline for expressions of interest is the 4th of June 2026, and all enquiries should be submitted by the 25th of May 2026. The contract is set to begin on the 1st of January 2027, with anticipated completion by the end of 2029, subject to potential renewal. This contract holds strategic significance due to ongoing rail industry reforms and the creation of Great British Railways.

This tender offers robust opportunities for businesses specialising in insurance brokerage, especially those experienced with complex infrastructure and regulatory environments like UK's rail systems. With a total contract value estimated at £600,000 gross, this two-stage procurement process is well-suited for SMEs and VCSEs that deliver value-for-money while offering proactive risk advisory services. The procurement procedure facilitates potential growth by allowing for service expansion alongside the forthcoming UK Rail reform. Companies capable of maintaining continuous coverage and adapting to dynamic organisational changes during these reforms should consider competing, as they can establish a foothold in the rail sector which is evolving towards centralisation under Great British Railways.

## Notice

Network Rail seeks to appoint a broker to design, place, and service a comprehensive insurance and risk programme spanning the Network Rail group, which in turn evolves in to the relevant DfT Operator / Great British Railways entities, ensuring continuity through transition and value over the long term. The provision of services will begin from 1st January 2027 with services initially for Network Rail Limited and its subsidiaries. During 2027 and the further UK Rail reform this will see broker services expand to include DfT Operator Limited as it merges with Network Rail for the formation of Great British Railways. Following the formation of Great British Railways, the Insurance Broking Services will be for the Great British Railways entity. The formation of Great British Railways is anticipated to be Q3 2027. More information of Rail Industry Reform is summarised later in this document. The key objectives includes: Secure sustainable, value-for-money insurance and risk transfer aligned to the evolving GBR operating model. Maintain uninterrupted coverage through organisational and asset transfers, including any change in insured names, interests, and contractual interfaces. Provide proactive risk advisory, claims excellence, and credible market advocacy that reflects the complexity of UK rail infrastructure, operations, and regulation. As part of planned reforms to the rail industry, including the establishment of Great British Railways (GBR), it is possible that stations and other associated assets currently operated by train operators contracted by the Secretary of State for Transport may also come within the scope of such contract although the timing and volume of such opportunities is not yet known. In addition, the contract and procurement process will provide for potential transfer of either the procurement process or the resulting contract itself in the event that this is required due to the establishment of GBR, rail reform or other corporate restructuring.
