## Summary

Network Rail Infrastructure Limited is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Market Engagement: Asset Protection (ASPRO) Training Courses". This initiative aims to assess the supplier market for asset protection training services within the railway industry. Located in the UK, the procurement process is focused on engaging with potential suppliers to explore available training locations and estimate indicative costs. The industry category for this process is services, specifically training services. A key date to note is the deadline for market engagement responses, set for 29 May 2026. The contract period is tentatively scheduled for 30 April 2027 to 30 April 2031. Interested suppliers are encouraged to partake in the engagement exercise via Network Rail's e-tendering platform, Bravo.

This market engagement represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in training services, to align themselves with Network Rail. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will find the tender particularly accessible given the suitability for their participation. Engaging in this early stage assessment allows businesses to tailor their offerings and pricing to meet Network Rail's future procurement needs. Companies with the capacity to offer widespread training services across the UK will be particularly well-suited to compete. The initiative promotes growth by positioning businesses as key partners in Network Rail's commitment to asset protection training and future-proofing the railway infrastructure.

## Notice

Asset Protection Training Services for the railway industry - this is currently market engagement to understand the supplier marketplace, available locations for training and indicative costs and not yet a procurement exercise inviting bids.

### Planning Information

So Network Rail can understand the market for asset protection training services, market engagement via questionnaire is being invited to understand the number of suppliers active, their coverage nationally and their potential costs for budgeting. This will inform if Network Rail decides to proceed with a future procurement and as well as chosen routes to market.
Please note, the exact dates for any procurement should one take place are estimated only at this stage and could vary to be either sooner or later subject to pipeline planning.
Market engagement will be hosted on Network Rail's e-tendering platform Bravo. The event on Bravo can be accessed via this link - https://networkrail.bravosolution.co.uk/esop/guest/go/opportunity/detail?opportunityId=61037
