## Summary

Network Rail Infrastructure Limited, acting as the buying organisation, has completed a public procurement process under the title "Ganton, Flaxton, Marston Moor and Hessay - AHB Flex" in the railway equipment industry category. The contract, awarded on 6th May 2026, involves the supply and installation of Flex 2.1 signalling equipment at trial sites located in Ganton, Flaxton, Marston Moor, and Hessay within the UK. The procurement stage is now at the completion phase, following a direct award method under the United Kingdom Procurement Act 2023, with the contract period scheduled from 15th May to 10th July 2026. This process, which fell under the special regime for utilities, was justified due to technical reasons and lack of competition, with a gross contract value of £496,800.
