Network Rail (NR) requires a Traffic Management Partner (TMP) to work collaboratively within its Eastern Region, and a TMP to work collaboratively within the London North Western North (LNW North) Route of the LNW Region, to achieve NR’s long term strategic vision for Traffic Management.
This procurement comprises 2 lots and NR will establish a single supplier framework for each lot as follows:
The Traffic Management System (TMS) technology, which will cover parts of LNW, LNE and the Trans Pennine route, is expected to control the flow of trains across the network in the most efficient way, adapting as conditions change and increasing capacity on a Route, as well as improving day to day performance.
This lot will establish a framework for TMS anywhere within the geographic scope of Network Rail’s Eastern Region, including the Trans Pennine route. A maximum of one supplier will be awarded a Framework Agreement. Any TM solutions delivered as part of this lot will need to technically integrate with adjacent systems between Lot 1 and Lot 2 and other TM systems (full scope of interfaces and boundaries will be provided within the service description documents) as well as other partners currently being procured by NR under its Digital Railway Programme (see below). This is a zero value framework, however, the anticipated value of services to be called off under this framework is found in Section II.2.6).
