## Summary

Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd plans to procure an end-to-end management agent service for short-term pop-up retail and promotional lettings across Network Rail-managed railway stations, potentially including stations managed by train operating companies. The service is intended to make productive use of vacant space, increase occupancy and commercial income, and improve station environments and customer experience. Work would cover retail, promotional, experiential and brand-activation uses, from marketing spaces and finding occupiers through onboarding, contract administration, rent collection, compliance and operational support. The supplier would also handle stakeholder engagement, performance reporting and business development. This is commercial property letting and management work (CPV 70220000), delivered across the railway estate rather than at a single named station.

The process is at the planning stage: Network Rail has set out an intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. The stated procurement value is £5 million. The buyer expects to use a procurement portal for this requirement and has scheduled pre-market engagement to gather supplier interest and identify market capacity and capability. It also plans to seek feedback on a draft specification and its proposed procurement strategy, and to consider suggestions for additional services or requirements. The engagement is intended to inform the development or updating of the eventual tender specification. The procurement is described as one managed service covering the railway estate; no separate service lots are outlined.

This requirement is likely to suit property and commercialisation businesses with experience in short-term retail or promotional lettings, particularly in busy, operational transport environments. Suppliers should be ready to demonstrate the capacity to market and let multiple spaces, source and onboard occupiers, manage contracts and legal administration, collect rent, oversee compliance and operations, and report performance. Stakeholder management and business development capability will also be relevant, alongside the ability to support experiential and brand-activation uses and maintain a positive customer experience in stations. Network Rail is using pre-market engagement to identify suppliers and understand their capacity, capabilities and interest, while inviting feedback on its draft specification and procurement approach. Suppliers can use this planning period to prepare for a future tender and help shape the requirement through the stated engagement process.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Network Rail intends to procure a managed Pop-Up Management Agent Service to maximise the occupancy, commercial performance and customer experience of short-term retail, promotional, experiential and brand activation opportunities across Network Rail managed stations and, potentially, Train Operating Company (TOC) stations. The appointed supplier will provide an end-to-end service including marketing and letting vacant spaces, occupier sourcing, onboarding and mobilisation, contractual and legal administration, financial management and rent collection, compliance management, operational oversight, stakeholder engagement, performance reporting and business development activities. The service will support the continued delivery and expansion of short-term lettings across the railway estate, enabling the efficient occupation of vacant space while driving revenue generation and enhancing station environments. The purpose of this Pre-Market Engagement is to: * Engage with the supply market and understand the level of interest in bidding for this potential future opportunity; * Allow suppliers who are interested in any potential future tender activity relating to this requirement, to be aware of the procurement platform that will be used, and provide them with the steps to complete qualification to this platform if requested (should they not have already done so); * Identify suitable suppliers available in the market; * Identify the capacity and capabilities of the suppliers available in the market; * Identify any additional services, requirements or concepts that Network Rail have not considered - this information may then be considered to support Network Rail in developing/updating its specification for the tender opportunity; * Gain feedback on the draft specification and other aspects of the potential strategy for this opportunity.
