## Summary

The recent procurement process conducted by Network Rail Infrastructure Limited involves the renewal of a software and maintenance agreement for Oracle's Hyperion Software. The process, categorized under goods, has been completed through a direct award method due to specific technical reasons and the embedded role of Oracle's software in Network Rail’s infrastructure. The contract was officially awarded to Oracle Corporation UK Limited on 12 May 2026 with the value placed at £385,000. The contract, beginning on 1 June 2026, will span until 31 May 2028, involving services across the United Kingdom within the software package and information systems industry sector. This follows the legal guidelines under the Procurement Act 2023.

This procurement provides business growth opportunities primarily for large scale software providers capable of delivering high-value, technical software solutions that are deeply integrated into existing systems. However, due to the unique technical specifications and existing commitments within Network Rail's IT infrastructure, Oracle's proprietary software offers compatibility that averts high transition costs and downtime risks. As such, businesses seeking similar contract opportunities would benefit from establishing niche, technically embedded solutions that align with public authorities' critical systems, thereby justifying direct award considerations due to its specificity and technical indispensability.

### Procurement Information

The contract is to be awarded directly in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 due to the absence of competition for objective technical reasons. The Oracle Enterprise Licence Agreement is deeply embedded within Network Rail's existing IT architecture and underpins a wide range of live business-critical systems. Oracle's software is proprietary, and the licences form part of a long-established enterprise agreement. Replacement would require extensive and costly re-engineering, data migration, recertification, and retraining, resulting in disproportionate cost, operational risk, and service disruption relative to the value of the renewal. The proposed contract is a like-for-like renewal with no expansion of scope, functionality, or usage, and no reasonable alternative supplier is capable of providing a compatible solution without these impacts.
