## Summary

Network Rail Infrastructure Limited is leading a completed public procurement process titled "Substation Securing," focused on the goods category. The project involves the procurement of support services for testing, assurance, and implementation activities related to the Remote Secure solution at the Nuneaton Substation. Located in the United Kingdom, this procurement falls under the central government category and adheres to a direct award method, justified under specific legal conditions outlined in the Procurement Act 2023. The procurement process reached the award stage on 4th August 2026, with the anticipated contract term set from 17th September 2026 to 17th September 2027. The procurement involves significant technical requirements, including SCADA integration and configuration of various RTU and electronic systems, all of which highlight advanced technical demands in the tender.

This tender presents opportunities for large-scale enterprises with significant technical expertise, particularly those experienced in SCADA systems and related electrical and electronic configurations. Companies that have previously collaborated with Network Rail or similar government infrastructure projects would bring added value due to the advanced, technical nature of the requirements. As the selected supplier, Morson Project Limited benefits from existing operational knowledge, making this a strategic partnership for ensuring continuity and efficiency. Businesses capable of operating within similar regulatory frameworks, and possessing innovative solutions in system integration and secure features, will find growth potential in such advanced infrastructural tenders initiated by prominent organisations like Network Rail.

## Notice

This is a one-time STA for the provision of support services to undertake testing, assurance, and implementation activities for the Remote Secure solution. The scope includes the establishment and operation of simulated and live test environments, SCADA integration, configuration and testing of RTU, DLR, electrical panel and Brodersen RTU equipment, associated site activities, and production of supporting documentation. The work will support product assurance and approval activities for future deployment across Network Rail assets, including the configuration and operation of Nuneaton Substation as a trial site for the Remote Secure App 2i solution. The scope also includes updating the Network Rail demonstration laptop and associated EPermits solution to support demonstrations of electronic permitting functionality through SEP.

### Procurement Information

The Direct Award is compliant with Schedule 5 of c54 of the Procurement Act. It meets two sub criteria, details of which and justification for each point is listed below. 6The following conditions are met in relation to the public contract-- (a)due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only a particular supplier can supply the goods, services or works required, and (b)there are no reasonable alternatives to those goods, services or works. The proposed supplier previously delivered the services as the specialist subcontractor and therefore possesses unique operational knowledge, technical understanding, historical asset information and delivery experience associated with the requirement. Network Rail has assessed the market and considers that no reasonable alternative supplier could provide the services within the required timescales without significant technical risk, operational disruption and extensive mobilisation activity. Accordingly, Network Rail considers that the conditions in Schedule 5, Paragraph 6 of the Procurement Act 2023 are satisfied. 7The public contract concerns the supply of goods, services or works by the existing supplier which are intended as an extension to, or partial replacement of, existing goods, services or works in circumstances where-- (a)a change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving goods, services or works that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing goods, services or works, and (b)the difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance. Appointing an alternative supplier would require significant mobilisation, knowledge transfer and familiarisation activities, resulting in delay, increased delivery risk and additional cost. The proposed supplier can deliver the requirement immediately and efficiently, reducing implementation risk and ensuring continuity of service while providing value for money for Network Rail.
