## Summary

Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd bought stakeholder engagement and public relations consultancy services to support its communications and engagement strategy, individual projects and responses to major events. The scope is full-service consultancy, analysis and monitoring, covering both overarching strategic work and support tied to specific projects or events. The service is relevant to communications consultancies able to provide stakeholder insight and engagement alongside monitoring and practical strategic support for a major rail infrastructure organisation. The procurement is categorised as public relations services (CPV 79416000). The work supports Network Rail; the delivery location is recorded only as the United Kingdom, without a more specific place.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to iNHouse Communications Limited. The contract is active and was signed on 18 September 2026. Its value is £1,168,415.97 and its stated duration is four years. Network Rail ran a further competition through the RM6124 Communications Marketplace Dynamic Purchasing System, limited to suppliers admitted to relevant category filters. Thirteen bids were recorded. The award followed competition under the DPS rules and applicable procurement regulations. The published evaluation material lists quality at 70% and cost at 30%, alongside a separate price criterion shown as 100%, so the evaluation basis is internally inconsistent. The procurement has one lot, but that lot is marked cancelled despite the active award and contract.

For communications and public relations consultancies, this award demonstrates Network Rail’s demand for an integrated service combining stakeholder engagement, analysis and monitoring with advice on communications strategy. A credible competitor would need to show it can support both organisation-wide engagement plans and individual infrastructure projects, while also responding effectively to major events. The requirement favours a supplier with enough breadth to bring consultancy and analytical capability together with ongoing monitoring, and the capacity to serve a large, operationally complex rail organisation over a sustained engagement. The route used was a further competition within a communications dynamic purchasing system, so familiarity with this type of framework-based competition and the ability to meet the relevant supplier-category requirements would also strengthen a future competitor’s position.
