Network Rail National Risk Assessment Redesign

Network Rail is undertaking preliminary market engagement to understand the market capabilities and potential costs for a new Risk Assessment System to support the consistent creation, management, assurance and use of risk assessments across the organisation.

Our current system has approximately 650-700 risk assessments and 300 active users.

The purpose of this notice is to gather information from the market on available technologies, system capabilities, delivery approaches and potential implementation models that could inform a future procurement.

Network Rail is seeking insight from suppliers who can provide a digital risk assessment management platform capable of supporting a modernised risk assessment process aligned with the organisation’s safety strategy.

This engagement is exploratory and this notice does not pre-qualify suppliers or form part of any procurement.

The objectives of this engagement are to:

• Understand the maturity of systems available within the market

• Identify potential suppliers capable of delivering a modern risk assessment management platform

• Test assumptions regarding technical capability, system functionality and integration

• Explore potential delivery models and implementation approaches

• Inform the development of a future procurement strategy and specification

Insights gathered will support Network Rail in shaping the requirements for a potential future system procurement.

This engagement does not:

• Prequalify or shortlist suppliers

• Form part of any formal procurement process

• Provide any advantage or disadvantage to participants. All information shared with suppliers will be shared with all supplier in any resulting procurement process.
