## Summary

Network Rail Infrastructure Limited procured a managed geolocation service for its East Coast Route. The requirement covers the deployment, operation and support of geofencing-enabled devices and Virtual Worksite Marker Boards (WSMBs) used across the route. The supplier is responsible for supplying devices on a hire basis, implementing the service, managing the programme and providing ongoing support. This is an information technology services requirement, including the operation of connected safety and worksite-marking equipment. Delivery is across Network Rail’s East Coast Route, with the buying organisation based at Waterloo General Office in London. The procurement was treated as a utilities requirement and was divided into one completed lot.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective route under a framework agreement, without a competitive call-off. The award was made on 17 August 2026 to Tended Limited. The awarded value is £493,340 excluding VAT, or £592,008 including VAT. The award is above the relevant threshold. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 31 May 2027. The original service description refers to delivery from July 2026 to 31 May 2027. The single lot is complete. The award covers information technology services and relates to the full East Coast Route requirement. The award record identifies Tended Limited as the selected supplier.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Network Rail for managed geolocation and worksite safety technology on a major rail route. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable requirements from this buyer would need to combine geofencing-enabled device supply or hire with deployment, implementation, programme management and continuing operational support. Credibility would depend on the ability to manage connected equipment across a route-wide estate, support users and maintain reliable Virtual Worksite Marker Boards in a safety-critical railway environment. Experience delivering information technology services for infrastructure or transport operations would strengthen a supplier’s position. The award to an SME shows that a specialist technology business can satisfy the requirement, although suppliers would still need sufficient operational capacity and support capability for a large, above-threshold service.
