Digital access management solution

Description

Network Rail intends to establish a framework agreement with Resonate for the supply of the Initaite software along with associated implementation services, ongoing maintenance, support and operational services. The Inititate software is a digital access management solution, which is an additional system which works with our existing Scalable signalling control systems and Luminate traffic managmeent system, both of which are manufactured by Resonate. The requirement includes delivery of the new software module; integration with existing Network Rail architecture; system configuration; testing and acceptance activities; and provision of service levels, maintenance, and operational support following implementation. The award will be a zero value framework, with a total maximum forecasted spend of £47.8m over its 8 year duration. No extension options are allowed.The framework will enable regional call‑off contracts, including performance management through three call‑off‑level KPIs. All notices associated with framework and call‑off activity—including transparency, contract award, contract details, performance and change notices—will be issued in line with Procurement Act 2023 requirements. The goods and services will be delivered by Resonate under the NR(IT)02 framework contract structure, using updated schedules aligned to existing Luminate licence terms and Network Rail responsibilities.
