## Summary

TRANSPORT UK EAST MIDLANDS LIMITED is initiating a procurement process titled "Digital Safe Work, Track Access and Field Operations Platform for Rail" within the services industry category. The procurement aims to identify digital solutions for safe work processes in rail operations. The project is currently in the Planning stage, with a preliminary market engagement deadline set for 30th July 2026. Based in London, the buying organisation invites expressions of interest through their procurement portal, particularly focused on utilities. The legal basis for this initiative is rooted in UK legislation from 2023, and the entire timeline is planned to start in October 2026, concluding by the end of September 2029.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses capable of delivering proven, ready-to-deploy digital solutions in the rail sector. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in software packages, information systems, and software-related services are particularly well-suited to compete. These solutions should be operational without the need for new development, facilitating immediate implementation. Businesses operating within the United Kingdom, especially those classified as private utilities, stand to benefit significantly from this opportunity to provide services that enhance track access and field operations in a regulated environment.

## Notice

### Planning Information
