| Notice Type: | Award notice |
| Buyer: | NETWORK RAIL (HIGH SPEED) LIMITED |
| Main Category: | Goods |
| Procurement Method: | Direct award |
| Method Rationale: | Owing to the supplier’s exclusive role as both the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the original designer of the system, they possess proprietary knowledge, technical expertise, and intellectual property rights that are essential for the production and integration of the required components. No other supplier has the capability to manufacture or supply products that meet the exact technical specifications, performance requirements, and compatibility standards necessary for operation on the existing high-speed line. The products must seamlessly interface with existing equipment and control systems designed by the same OEM, ensuring safety, reliability, and operational efficiency. Changing suppliers would result in equipment that differs from, or is incompatible with, the existing system, leading to significant technical difficulties in both operation and maintenance. In accordance with Clause 7 of Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act, this situation justifies a direct award to the existing supplier, as replacement by another supplier would cause disproportionate technical and operational challenges. |
