## Summary

The procurement process undertaken by ScotRail Trains Limited pertains to the "Platform Validators Maintenance Agreement," which falls under the services industry category. The main focus is on maintaining over 700 validators at 325 stations across the UKM region. The procurement method used is a limited procedure, specifically an award without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the absence of alternative suppliers, as Vix Technology UK Limited is uniquely equipped to perform this task. The procurement has reached the award stage, with the contract being signed on 13 March 2024, and officially documented in the award notice issued on 9 October 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses with expertise in railway services and related technologies. Although the contract was not open to competitive bidding due to technical reasons, businesses aiming to engage in similar future tenders could benefit from investing in niche capabilities that may enable them to compete with specialised market players like Vix Technology. The opportunity primarily suits businesses specialising in technological solutions for railway systems infrastructure, particularly those that can offer proprietary software or hardware maintenance services.
