Network Rail is undertaking a Decarbonisation and Energy Efficiency Programme to transition towards sustainable and energy-efficient operations.

This procurement is for the provision of maintenance services for Network Rail’s electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, ensuring optimal uptime, operational reliability, and scalability to support the electrification of Network Rail’s fleet.

The contract covers preventive and corrective maintenance, including scheduled servicing, diagnostics, and rapid fault resolution for both AC and DC charge points.

It also includes warranty management, spare parts provisioning, and seamless integration with Network Rail’s future Charge Point Management System (CPMS) for real-time monitoring, fault detection, and predictive maintenance analytics (procured separately and out of scope of this procurement).

The supplier must demonstrate multi-brand maintenance capability, as the network consists of chargers from multiple OEMs, including Schneider, Kenpower, and Rolec, alongside chargers managed by third parties such as APCOA.

The network will expand from 1,000 chargers in Year 1 (currently up to 300 chargers are in operation) to approximately 8,600 chargers by Year 5, with a long-term target of 10,000 charge points.

The procurement aligns with Network Rail’s sustainability and operational strategy, ensuring a cost-effective, scalable, and high-quality maintenance framework that supports fleet electrification, decarbonisation targets, and long-term infrastructure resilience.

The selected supplier must provide innovative, data-driven maintenance solutions, incorporating remote diagnostics, predictive analytics, and sustainable servicing practices to optimise performance and reduce environmental impact.
