Building on the Strategy of Control Period 6, Network Rail’s (NRs) Occupational Health (OH), Hygiene and Wellbeing vision, the commitment for Control Period 7 (CP7) is based on sustainable health.
NR recognise that people are the greatest asset and the key to achieving the vision of a better railway for a better Britain. NR value the diversity, skills, and contributions of employees and strive to provide a safe, healthy, and supportive work environment.
A key element of sustaining the workforce was the introduction of the NR Inhouse Occupational Health Service – the core service comprises OH technicians, OH advisers, clinical management, and governance, supported by an operational administration team. This service is delivered from twenty-two (22) of NR clinics.
NR are seeking to award additional services to support NR’s inhouse OH service.
The proposed lotting structure is as follows:
Lot 1: Occupational Health Physician Services, Occupational Health Service for the Occupational Health Services and Occupational Therapy Workplace Assessments & Neurodiversity Assessments.
Lot 2: Specialist Referrals
The purpose of this notice is to inform the Supply Chain that Network Rail intends to approach the market early March. The PQQ will be linked to the opportunity listing within BravoNR, once ready to publish.

Network Rail (NR) requires a digital solution to develop signalling scheme designs and facilitate the integration of that design into the operational railway providing interfaces to a target signalling system.
The Target 190plus Synthetic Environment (SE), part of the T190+ Programme, is a key enabler of the Future Control Command Signalling (FCCS) Strategy. It will provide a virtual representation of the rail network where designers and other stakeholders can develop and integrate designs and perform testing and validation, using simulation and emulation.
