## Summary

NETWORK RAIL INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED has completed its procurement process for the "FCCS Design and Validation" project under Project FCCS T190Plus. This involved a direct award for services that include technical lead support, assurance of FCCS deliverables, and the production of BIM-aligned templates and system safety artefacts. The contracted supplier for this endeavour is AtkinsRéalis UK Limited. This contract is valued up to £818,000, with spending tied to defined milestones and deliverables. The process is in the award stage, having commenced with an award notice published on 15 May 2026, and the services are scheduled to be delivered from 29 June 2026 to 30 March 2029. The procurement falls under the railway engineering services and engineering design services categories, with a focus on the UK region.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in railway engineering and design services. The contract requires specialist knowledge, particularly relating to the FCCS Process Framework and associated applications, offering advantages for companies possessing relevant expertise and experience in such niche areas. Since the procurement method focused on a direct award due to vested technical reasons and intellectual property rights, businesses that have past engagement with similar FCCS Design and Validation tasks or possess a deep understanding of safety and integration within rail infrastructure can substantially benefit. With Network Rail's emphasis on maintaining continuity and system integrity, enterprises with a proven track record in these areas are ideally suited for competing in future opportunities that may arise from similar procurement processes.

## Notice

The provision of specialist FCCS Design and Validation services to deliver the final tranche of work under Project FCCS T190Plus. The services include technical lead support, assurance of existing FCCS deliverables, production of Work Instructions and Templates for Early Release and Shadow Mode (MVP), BIM-aligned templates to enable CCS, and supporting system safety artefacts. The services will be delivered by a single supplier under an NR1 contract, with spend incurred against defined milestones and deliverables under a capped time and materials commercial model, up to an approved contract value of PS818,000.

### Procurement Information

The supplier has delivered all previous phases of the FCCS Design and Validation work and is the author of the FCCS Process Framework, associated Generic and Specific Application Processes, and supporting system safety artefacts. The remaining scope requires detailed programme-specific knowledge and integration with existing deliverables and Synthetic Environment tooling that cannot be replicated without disproportionate duplication, rework and assurance risk. Replacing the incumbent supplier would require redevelopment and re-assurance of existing outputs, introduce material delay, and create safety and integration risk. Only the incumbent supplier is technically capable of delivering the remaining scope within the required timescales while maintaining continuity, safety assurance and system integrity.
