In plain English

Network Rail wants to buy a software system for managing examinations (formal inspections and tests) of its engineering assets in the Eastern Region. The system must work with Network Rail's existing NEST asset management platform and help the region meet its compliance obligations to the Office of Rail and Road. The contract covers software licences, ongoing support and minor configuration for up to 8 years with a single supplier.

What the buyer wants

• Supply software licences for 120 users, with pricing for additional users in blocks of 20 • Provide ongoing support for the system, priced on the same user basis • Carry out configuration work to agreed milestones, so the system fits NEST and the region's examination processes

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

The notice does not state formal accreditations or turnover thresholds, but the need for a system that integrates with Network Rail's own NEST platform, a single supplier responsible for licences, support and configuration over 8 years, and a regulated compliance context means most small businesses without an established software product and support team would struggle to win it.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
