    Brief

    Network Rail is seeking a qualified supplier to deliver essential firmware and platform upgrades to the Smartlock Support Server systems. The current infrastructure operates on obsolete and unsupported Windows platforms, creating significant risks to system reliability, safety assurance, and cybersecurity compliance. The upgrade is critical to ensure long-term supportability and enable new signalling functionality required for rail services in 2028. Suppliers should have experience with enterprise server upgrades, modern operating systems, railway signalling systems integration, and cybersecurity standards compliance. This project involves modernizing aging installations to meet current industry standards and regulatory requirements.
