IPDR - Locomotive ETCS Fitment Framework

Network Rail Infrastructure Limited · Central government

In brief

Network Rail Infrastructure Limited has announced plans to buy vehicle and fleet work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £270,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 12 years, starting 4 January 2028.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 4 bids per contract for this buyer (from 42 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £270,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Establish a national framework for the deployment of Level 2 European Train Control Systems (ETCS)
