## Summary

Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd procured SORAT Services through a single-supplier framework for its Southern Region, covering the Kent, Sussex and Wessex Routes. The requirement is classified as transport services, with railway engineering services as an additional classification. Work is associated with railway operations and engineering across these routes in the United Kingdom. The buyer is based in London. The procurement concerns services rather than goods or construction works, and the framework was intended to provide one appointed supplier for the regional requirement. Businesses whose work combines transport support with railway engineering capability would find the subject matter most relevant, particularly those able to operate across the Southern Region’s three routes.

The procurement has reached completion and an award is recorded as active. It used a selective negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition, under a framework agreement. One bid was recorded for the single lot. The lot itself is recorded as cancelled, while the associated award, Southern SORAT Services, is active and the related contract is active. The contract was signed by Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd on 20 July 2026. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The recorded award and contract do not state an awarded supplier, monetary value, award date or contract end date. The process therefore shows an established contractual outcome, alongside a cancellation status for the lot.

For a supplier assessing future demand from Network Rail, this procurement demonstrates a requirement for a single provider of SORAT Services across three Southern Region routes. A credible competitor would need transport-services capability tailored to railway environments, supported by relevant railway engineering expertise. The geographic scope points to the need for operational reach across Kent, Sussex and Wessex, rather than delivery at one isolated site. Experience coordinating services across multiple rail routes would be commercially relevant, as would the capacity to perform consistently under a framework arrangement with one buyer. The recorded competitive route and single bid indicate that understanding Network Rail’s requirements, governance and route-wide delivery expectations would be important when developing a future proposition for this buyer.
