## Summary

Network Rail Infrastructure Limited is procuring Oracle Fusion software as a service (SaaS) under its Open For Business programme. The requirement is for access to Oracle Fusion, which supports the organisation’s customer relationship management processes. This is an information technology service, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement concerns the SaaS agreement rather than a wider software implementation or general IT support contract.

The procurement is complete and the award is recorded as pending. Network Rail used a direct award, citing Oracle’s intellectual property rights and the fact that no other company can provide the service on Oracle software. It also said that switching at this stage, while progressing towards Great British Railways, would bring disproportionate cost and unacceptable risk. Oracle is the named product, but no supplier is identified in the award data. The stated contract period runs from 10 November 2026 to 9 November 2029. The award value is £1,982,000 excluding VAT, or £2,378,400 including VAT. A signature was scheduled for 29 October 2026. The procurement is a single lot; no evaluation criteria are recorded.

For suppliers considering comparable future work with Network Rail, this award shows demand for continued Oracle Fusion SaaS to support customer relationship management. A credible competitor would need to provide the relevant Oracle platform service and demonstrate that it can maintain continuity with Network Rail’s embedded CRM processes. The buyer’s rationale makes Oracle software rights, technical compatibility and the risks and costs of switching central commercial considerations. Suppliers offering alternative platforms would need a convincing way to address those constraints, including the implications for Network Rail’s work towards Great British Railways. The award represents a substantial, multi-year software service requirement, rather than a general-purpose IT support opportunity. The direct-award route indicates that the buyer viewed the requirement as supplier-specific; experience with Oracle Fusion SaaS and the ability to support an established enterprise deployment are therefore particularly relevant.
