    Brief

    Network Rail Infrastructure Limited is contracting with Explore 2050 (Trading as Vertiq) for a fully integrated, off-site manufactured modular lift solution. The scope includes design, factory-based manufacture, delivery, on-site installation, testing, commissioning, and associated support services. This modular approach is required to minimize passenger disruption, reduce on-site construction activities, decrease railway possession time, ensure reliable installation, and support accessibility and station enhancement programs across Network Rail's estate. The contract term is 18 months with a break clause exercisable after 12 months, allowing Network Rail to reassess market conditions and competitive options. This is a direct award under the Procurement Act 2023 based on absence of competition for technical reasons; Network Rail has determined that no other supplier currently offers a comparable fully integrated modular lift solution meeting its operational, safety, installation, and standardization requirements. The break clause will enable Network Rail to conduct further market testing during the contract term to determine if competitive procurement should be pursued for future requirements.
